Practical Maths/ Problem solving- Tin Foil Tower Challenge

21st Oct 2022

Today in maths we undertook the 'Tin-foil Tower Challenge'. We were given a sheet of tin-foil which was 90cm long and the challenge was to construct the highest tower possible in 15 minutes using only this tin-foil. Firstly we planned our towers and then we built and modified them so as to make the tallest tower possible. We really enjoyed this challenge. Mikey and Keelan's tower was the tallest at a height of 76cm. Well done to everyone.
