Zach completing the four fours math investigation:
He has started this challenge off by using the number four as many or as little times as he can to get the answers 1 - 20. He could chose to use what ever operations (plus, takeaway, times, divide) that worked for him.
His next challenge could be to limit the fours that he uses to only four fours.
If he wants to try another challenge he could limit himself to only using three fours. Maybe even two fours! That would be a challenge for sure!
You could take on these challenges too and send it through to your teacher to put on the blog.
Great work Zach - I like this investigation too. Not sure I ever got to the full 20 though...I din't persist enough! Let us know if you try the other challenge!
