Been a while since I shared a #MathsToday task, so here's a starter ahead of some factorising practice. Good old piece of variation theory

I had triangle diagrams ready to go, but we ran out of staples so focused on the wording first.

Also the bar model version if they want to see why matching x helps to make it a y problem.

This is my layout of choice, using q2a from Corbett's textbook exercise. Happy to break this down later but just give you time to digest/compare to your own.
And yes, that *is* a Mr Happy notepad.

Desmos visual to confirm. The green dots show that 00, 01, 37 and 48 are the only such values, seeing as x and y must be limited to 9.
Boiled down to 10x+y=x^2+y^2-xy (so close to being a binomial!)

On the off-chance that any of you are near the Dover/Deal/Sandwich area, my Dad's doing a craft fair at Solley's Farm next Sunday. Good set of stalls, a nice cafe should you wish to grab food, and a pub about 200 yards away!

For those who need to emphasise to their pupils that incredibly statistically likely does not mean certain, and vice versa, let me present the 2024 Minnesota Twins.
This picture is their likelihood of making the playoffs as the season went on.

I did an FDRP method...does this check out?
It's been a long day so I'm aware the middle line could be done without the fraction but meh, and also that I could be missing something obvious!
