On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
a partridge in a pear tree. (1 present)
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. (3 presents)
On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
3 French hens, 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. (6
presents)
So by day 3, I have been given 1 + 3 + 6 = 10 presents.
How many presents will I have by the end of the 12th
day of Christmas?
Hint – To keep organized, calculate how many presents you
receive on each of the 12 days, and then find the total.
Solutions are to be completed by Friday 16th December.
Please post them into the Maths Challenge Box in the picture book
library.
