Well I wonder how often you have noticed that there are numbers around the place that follow one after another 1, 2, 3 ... etc.? Sometimes they appear in reverse order when a countdown is happening for a launch of a rocket. But usually they happen in an order going up, like when you read through a book and notice the page numbers. These kinds of numbers are called consecutive numbers, you may have heard of the word before - it simply means that they are whole numbers that follow one after another.

This investigation uses the idea of consecutive numbers and gives us other numbers to explore. You may very well discover things that NO ONE else has discovered or written about before, and that's GREAT!

So this is how it starts. You need to choose any four consecutive numbers and place them in a row with a bit of a space between them, like this:

When you've chosen your consecutive numbers, stick with those same ones for quite a while, exploring ideas before you change them in any way. Now place + and − signs in between them, something like this :

4 + 5 - 6 + 7 4 - 5 + 6 + 7

and so on until you have found all the possibilities. Are you sure you've got them all? You should include one using all + 's and one that includes all − 's.

Now work out the answers to all your calculations (e.g. 4 - 5 + 6 + 7 = 12 and so on).

Now try other sets of four consecutive numbers and look carefully at the sets of answers that you get each time.

Are you surprised by anything you notice?

Consecutive Numbers Challenge

It is probably a good idea to write down your 'noticings'. This can lead you to test some ideas out by starting with new sets of consecutive numbers and seeing if the same things happen in the same way. You might now be doing some predictions that you can test out... FINALLY, it is good to ask the question "I wonder what would happen if I ... ?" You may have thought up your own questions to explore further. Here are some we thought of: "What would happen if I took the consecutive numbers in an order going down, instead of up?" "What would happen if I only used sets of three consecutive numbers?" "What would happen if I used more consecutive numbers?" "What would happen if I changed the rule and allowed consecutive numbers to include fractions or decimals?" "What would happen if I allowed a + or − sign before the first number?"

Science: Fact sheet 1 Read the information below to help you answer your questions!

What is the Sun like?

The Sun is a yellow dwarf star at the center of our Solar System. All the planets of the Solar System orbit around the Sun. The Sun and the Solar System orbit around the center of our Galaxy, the Milky Way.Although the Sun is a relatively small star in the universe, it is huge in relation to our solar system. Even with massive gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn, the Sun contains 99.8% of all the mass in the solar system.The Sun is made up of superheated hydrogen and helium gas. Hydrogen makes up about 74% of the mass of the Sun. The Sun is the main source of energy in the Solar System and life on Earth. We can use solar to convert energy from the Sun directly into electricity.

How do we know about the Sun?

The Sun has been studied by humans, scientists, and astronomers for as long as people have been around. In the 16th and 17th centuries astronomers like Galileo and Isaac Newton began to study the Sun and learned that planets orbit the Sun due to gravity.

Science: Fact sheet 2 ● The Sun is a star found at the centre of the Solar System● The Sun’s diameter is about 1,392,000 kilometres wide (110 times

wider than Earth)● Around 74% of the Sun’s mass is made up of hydrogen. Helium

makes up around 24%. The heavier elements such as oxygen, carbon, iron and neon make up the remaining percentage.

● Light from the Sun reaches Earth in around 8 minutes.● The Sun’s surface temperature is around 5500 degrees Celsius.● The Sun’s core (middle) is around 13600000 degrees Celsius!● Because of the Sun’s huge influence on Earth, many early cultures

saw the Sun as a deity or god. For example, Ancient Egyptians had a sun god called Ra while in Aztec mythology there is a sun god named Tonatiuh.

● A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is between the Sun and the Earth.

● It takes 365 days (and six hours) for the Earth to rotate around the Sun. That is why every four years we have a leap year on February 29th (4x 6hours = 24hours = 1 Day)
