=====================
At the Panto House, Buttons is washing the Ugly Sisters' bloomers. He hangs out the washing to dry and notices that the line takes a maximum weight of 2000g. He must weigh each pair of knickers. He uses scales and finds they each weigh 250g. He counts 10 pairs of bloomers. Now he must work out if he can hang up the bloomers and the 315g tights without the line breaking. Three questions of increasing difficulty help to structure the solution and set related weight problems.
This clip is from the BBC series Let's Do Maths which explores space, shape and measure. Each clip ends with three questions increasing in levels of difficulty. Say hello to Ambrose the apprentice, wrestling with maths in his new job at the Grecian Pizza Parlour. Meet the Measure family using maths in fun and familiar ways to help with life at home. And hang out with the Ugly Sisters and Buttons in the Panto House. Only maths can make sense of the silly scrapes they get into.
