This week 10.11 learned Algebra.
I booked into the workshop with Mr A and here is what we had to do:
So there was a snail stuck in a well 26 metres deep and in the first hour he went up 5 metres but then the next hour he dropped 2, back and forth. Our task was to track on a spreadsheet how many hours did it take for the snail to get to the top, the spreadsheet kinda looked like this:

As you can see it took 15 hours for the snail to climb up the 26 metre well.
And that is a part of algebra.
Thanks for looking!
