Elves Home Learning

Thank you so much for your support with our Elves puzzle last week. We have had some very inventive solutions from the children.

We've also had some requests for a solution so here goes:-

There were four elves, four coloured outfits and three items of clothing.

So let's start with this:-

If the elves only had coloured hats then there would be four possible hats that they could wear.

Expanding this to hats and jackets then for each coloured hat there are four coloured jacket options (4 x 4 = 16).

With trousers too there are four new options for each hat and jacket combination, so 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible different outfits each.

Thank you for all of your support with Home Learning tasks this term and best wishes for a Happy Christmas from everyone in the Year Four Team
