Problem solving with the Tower of Brahma puzzle
The puzzle rewards planning: pupils find that the smallest number of moves doubles and adds one with each extra disc, so five discs need at least 31 moves, which leads into patterns, powers of 2 and recursion.
- Sequential problem solving with the three rules
- Finding the minimum number of moves for 1 to 5 discs
- Number patterns and powers of 2
- Introducing recursion in computing lessons
- Maths club and activity-centre challenges
