Maths Problem Solving Activities

As teachers we are always looking for ways to make Maths more enjoyable.

Here are some ideas of how to do it:

1) Lasso around the Moon:

If you threw a Lasso around the moon how long does the rope have to be?

How much would you need to make it wind around the moon 5 times and then have enough rope to return to earth again?

If the Moon is 3, 474 km in Diameter then what is the circumference?

Answer:

The circumference of the Moon is 10,921 km
