There needs to be enough bisc uits for 12 people. • Return your parents' green 'Goals For My Child' sheet as soon as possible. (In fact yesterday will do fine.) • Remember to enter the hypothesis and weekly average, mode and range on your sheet for your lunch menu task. **

 Peter, Henry and Alina - Math investigation: This is to be done both at home and school so you must be prepared to do this work in both places. It will be due to be presented by Monday of week 6. (16th March)  Your task is: • To find out about the life, times and contributions to maths by two great mathematicians e.g. Babbage, Fibonacci. • Decide which mathematician has made the greater contribution and why? • Then design a mathematical task for others to solve that utilises the mathematical theorem of your chosen mathematician. (Make sure you know how to explain the process and solution to your problem.)
 * Tuesday 10 March**
 * Maths Task:** To be presented either in a booklet form or as an ICT presentation (Keynote or PowerPoint)

• What was the life path of each? • What time or era each lived in. What else was happening during that time? • What was their discovery? • How is their discovery applied in life – of use to others?
 * Consider**:

Who do you consider to have made the bigger contribution and why?
 * Analysis**:

Use a grid to record your data in bullet points:
 * || Life || Times || Discovery || Application ||
 * Babbage ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * Fibonacci ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
