Problem Solving Mathematics


This week children have been invited to investigate Bob's buttons.
Bob arranged buttons in groups of 4 and had 2 left over, and in groups of 5 and had 1 left over. The smallest number of buttons he could have had was 6.
Investigate what other numbers of buttons would also fit the pattern.
Can you find a way of describing all the possibilities?
Ethan, Kevin, Rita
