It's day 2 of #MathsWeekScot and today's maths puzzle is inspired by Jaclyn and her love of holidays!

Look at the image below... can you decide which one doesn't belong? What is your reasoning? Can you find another that doesn't belong?

Bonus points if you can name all 4 countries!

A great way to keep track of learning skills (most consistent) is to use Google Sheets and the dropdown menu.
When I walk around to check student work, I use this method. Created a video tutorial in case you want to try it.
