Yesterday, I shared close all the amazing things I learned/experienced equally business office of the Tulsa Math Teachers' Circle Summer Immersion Workshop. As business office of that post, I mentioned that I had created some constituent tree puzzles afterwards existence inspired yesteryear the puzzles shared yesteryear Dr. Harold Reiter together with the puzzle created yesteryear 1 of the other participants.
These puzzles involve a constituent tree inwards which each terminating leg of the tree represents a prime number. Each variable represents a unique digit. So, if a is equal to five, together with thus b cannot endure equal to five.
I actually enjoyed solving the puzzle created yesteryear some other instructor inwards our group, thus I decided I should endeavor my mitt at creating my ain puzzles.
Here are the iv puzzles I ended upwards creating myself. In all honesty, I created agency to a greater extent than than iv puzzles. But, many of the puzzles I created turned out to direct keep multiple solutions or mistakes. These iv puzzles direct keep been verified yesteryear both my hubby together with myself to direct keep exclusively 1 solution.
I decided to house circles to a greater extent than or less the prime numbers to farther clarify the puzzles.
The difficulty aeroplane definitely increases equally the puzzle expose increases. Puzzle 1 is the easiest. Puzzles 2 together with three are trickier. And, Puzzle 4 is a beast. It took 2 people amongst math degrees a rattling long fourth dimension to verify that at that topographic point was 1 solution. So, I would NOT recommend giving puzzle 4 to students. Unless of course, there's some logical pace that makes solving it much easier than the road my hubby together with I ended upwards taking!
I direct keep uploaded the files for these puzzles here. I promise yous savour trying your mitt at this new-to-me type of puzzle!
P.S. I'm excited to nation that my showtime constituent tree puzzle was featured inwards 91st Maths Gems post. If you're non next her Resourceaholic blog, yous are missing out!
