Building Bridges

4th Oct 2017

P7 were set the team task of building a bridge....but with a mathematical twist.

Each team worked together to solve problems, their first task was to think of a name for their construction company. Then they had to make a bridge large and strong enough for a car to travel from one side of the canyon to another. They were only allowed to use materials purchased from Bob's Building Supplies at the prices stated. At particular points Bob offered percentage discounts on his materials and our clever groups didn't miss this opportunity!!

 

At the end of the task all bridges were tested and successfully worked!! Well done my clever bunch :)
