What did you have to find out?
We had to reach our destination in the least number of moves without being blown up with bombs. we have to avoid 5, 10 and 15 bombs. We had to put in co-ordinates and record our results.
What materials did you use?
We used the website game the "Website Maze Game." We talked about the best way to reach our goal and wrote our results on our sheets.
How did you think? What strategies did you use? How did you solve this problem?
We looked at the bombs and worked out the way to avoid them. We tried 5 bombs and 10 and 15 to test ourselves. We looked and checked with each different combinatiion.
What answers did you come up with?
For 5 bombs x=5 y=11, x=20 y=20
x=20 y=0, x=20 y=20
For 10 bombs x=10 y=8,x=20 y=20
x=9 y=11, x=20 y=20
For 15 bombs x=9 y=14 x=20 y=20
x=7 y=13, x=20 y=20
