Russell Street School

This brain teaser was created by Oli from ‘The Wizards of Oz’ (Room 6).  I think this challenge may even be harder than some others I’ve posted previously.  Please let us know how you got on…. we’re you able to solve it?

Use 16 matchsticks to make 2 trapeziums, 1 hexagon, 1 square and 2 rectangles.  Hope you can do it!

Some other problems created by children from ‘The Wizards of Oz’ have been posted on our class blog…. click here to view and solve them!!  Please remember to leave a comment – we love hearing about our learning!
