Maths problem of the week

Well done again Baillie, Hannah and Estelle for successfully completing last weeks problem, you girls really have your thinking caps on

This weeks problem
Grandpa has some yummy surprises in his pockets, I wonder how many there are?


Grandpa's Chocolates

Grandpa has five pockets in his jacket. In one pocket he has one chocolate. In another pocket he has two chocolates. In another he
has double that many chocolates. In yet another he has double that many and in the fifth pocket he has double that many again.
How many chocolates does Grandpa have in his jacket?

Good Luck

    1. Good effort room 2 but you may have to try again. How many times did you read the question? We read the question at least 4 or 5 times to make sure we understand. You could try drawing a picture showing how many chocolates are in each pocket. Good luck
