If the Chrismaths problem in post 180 was a little challenging for your younger students, try this alternative poster: On the eleventh day of Christmas (Part 2)

Of course, most geese don’t wear boots these days, but before mass transportation geese were walked to market in little boots or with tar applied to their feet.

There is a rather splendid video from 31st Dec 1966 on the BBC archive about walking geese to market: http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/chronicle/8619.shtml

I’m not going tinsel crazy yet – I’m just giving you, the reader, a resource a bit early to allow for printing and planning. We have a big noticeboard in the Maths Dept and I thought that this year it would be nice to have a temporary Christmas display: Welcome to the ‘Twelve Days of Chrismaths’!
I will be uploading twelve vaguely christmas related, corny christmas posters, starting today. I’m going to put one up each weekday in school, from 2nd December onwards. You might want to make this into a competition and get students to submit solutions to all the puzzles. You might want to use them as a class activity in the last week of term. Whatever you choose to do, come back each day for the next puzzle.
