The youth group are having a camp. they needed to put up tents for each team. Usually it takes eight large pegs to hold up each of their tents. This time they have a problem. They are very short on large tent pegs.
Leader: "Find some ways to put up tents that will save pegs" (Talking to the groups).
We had to work with a classmate to find a least three ways to put up ten tents. Then we had to find out which of the ways used the least amount of pegs.
Katie and I made a way that only used 39 pegs but then Brooke came and looked at our layout and suggested that we could take some pegs away and join them to others. Our second layout came to 36 pegs. The white bits of paper is the tents and the green counters are the pegs. We had the least amount of pegs in the end and some people got up to 60 pegs altogether.
