Skyscrapers

Grade 9s worked hard to solve a challenging puzzle today.

The task is to fill in the grid so that each row and column have only one sky scraper of each height (1,2,3,4). The trick comes in with the numbers on the side which indicate how many buildings should be visible from that perspective.

this task worked really well with lots of people because we could check each different side, and verify each other’s work.the task was not an easy one to figure out right away. Some of us took longer than others, and some of us came up with different strategies to help.

We got pretty good at solving this type of puzzle after working through a few rounds.

our teamwork improved too.we felt pretty excited when we succeeded!

Good work grade 9s!
