Math problem.

Maths 2#

Carrie has glued some cubes together to make a large
solid cube with nine small cubes showing on a face.

She paints the large cube red.

How many of the original small cubes have:

1. three faces painted red: 8 because each corner has 4 squares.
2. two faces painted red: 4 in each corner
3. one face painted red: 2 in each corner

no faces painted red: 1 in the middle of the square.

Maths

Simon has just discovered copycats. A square is a copycat because you can put four of them together to make another square.

Simon wonders if triangles and circles are copycats. What do you think? Yes because you can put four triangles together but you can’t do it with a circle.

Treasure map - maths problem

Today I solve a problem about a treasure map.  How the map goes there is five square going out and five squares going down and all together there are 25 squares. So the problems says that there is three trees going out east, and four granite boulders that are going down south, and we have to find the treasure. Due to the treasure map the chest is half way between the rocks.
