Challenge 1: Counting the ways to G

We already found the number of ways to reach A, B, C, D, E and F.

Can you predict the total number of ways to reach G.

Also, can you find the total ways to reach J? Explain how you found it.

What students worked out5

  • Student 2

    G=21
    H=34
    I=55
    J=89

  • Student 1

    E=8
    F=13
    8+13=21 since E and F are the only ones that connect to G
    G=21

    • Student 1

      H=34
      I=55
      55+34=87 Same reason as above
      J=87
