Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops? This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments: Transum.org/go/?Start=September3 However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below. |

Is it possible to arrange the digits 3 to 8 on the circles to make the statement correct?
The puzzle above is impossible but it will take a good mathematician to prove it is so!
The extension task is to get as close as possible to a correct statement. What is the minimum amount of error you can achieve (you will first need to define how you measure error).
