Maths and Science Questions
Each week the year six maths and science teacher gives us questions to solve, this week I was the first person to solve the question.
The question this week is……How many squares of all sizes are on a checkerboard?
I think that there are a total of 204 squares all together on a checkerboard.
1×1 squares = 64
2×2 squares = 49
3×3 squares = 36
4×4 squares = 25
5×5 squares = 16
6×6 squares = 9
7×7 squares = 4
8×8 squares = 1
Last week the question was……. What is the oldest thing you will ever see?The answer is Arcturus
The week before that the question was….. Why do people have different colour eyes? The reason people have different colour eyes is because in your eye there is a thing called malenine, those who have blue eyes have little to none and those with brown eyes have much more. Babies usually have blue eyes because they haven’t developed malenine yet and sometimes after 5 months or so the eyes will turn to their true colour. Usually but not always if there was some kind of trama to the eye at a young age it may not turn to brown and the other one will!!!!
