Sprouts

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is sprouts.png

We played a game that John H. Conway he co-invented with Michael S. Paterson while they were both at Cambridge.

It is called Sprouts, and the rules are summarised by Nrich here.

You can try and discover some of the maths behind it by working through this article. We managed to prove the maximum and minimum number of moves for a game starting with three points.

Epidemiology

We started with this warm up puzzle from Nrich:

The interactive version is here.

We then used this worksheet to explore how a disease could spread through a network. This was adapted from this set of resources from Nrich.
