November Challenge - Years 1 & 2

Jasper’s Beanstalk

Jasper’s bean grew 1 cm on a Friday.  After that, the beanstalk grew 2 cm taller each day.  When did the beanstalk reach 13 cm tall?


 
Possible strategy:
Use blocks to build the beanstalk.  You could even change 2 cm to 2 blocks to make the question more tangible for your child.  Build the height for each day and label it with the days of the week.


Solution: Thursday
