TWELVE PEOPLE

YOU ARE HAVING COMPANY OVER FOR DINNER!

THERE WILL BE TWELVE PEOPLE IN TOTAL.

(TOO MANY FOR EVERYONE TO SIT AT THE KITCHEN TABLE...)

SO, YOU NEED TO USE SQUARE CARD TABLES TO MAKE A TABLE SPACE LARGE ENOUGH FOR EVERY ONE TO SIT AND EAT TOGETHER.
TABLE EXAMPLE

YOU MUST ARRANGE THE TABLES SO THAT EDGES FULLY TOUCH AND SO THAT EACH OUTSIDE EDGE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR ONE PERSON.

YOU MUST CREATE AN ARRANGEMENT THAT WILL SEAT EXACTLY TWELVE PEOPLE.
TABLE ARRANGEMENTS

USE THE SQUARE TILES TO HELP YOU SOLVE THIS TABLE PROBLEM. RECORD YOUR WORK ON GRID PAPER.

  1. ESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF CARD TABLES NEEDED.
  2. DRAW THE DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS YOU CONSIDERED FOR EACH NUMBER OF TABLES. COLOR THEM TO MATCH THE TILES.
  3. SHOW HOW YOU KNOW THEY WILL OR WILL NOT WORK.
