You have a problem solving task this week.
We have been working on square numbers.
Can you put the numbers 1-17 in a line so that the numbers that are next to each other add up to a square number?
How many can you get in a line together?
Can you put all of them in the line?
It may be easier to make cards for the numbers 1 - 17 and line them up and rearrange.
For example; I can put 17 and 8 next to each other in my line because they total 25. I would then need to put 1 next to the 8 to make 9.
The explanation below may help you.
