Paper Chain Math Challenge

Are you ready for a math challenge?  This one is a great one!  What is the longest paper chain your group can create from one sheet of 12 x 18 construction paper?  It sounds pretty easy, huh?  Well, it is much harder than it looks!  I had six groups complete the math challenge and here are some of our chains and our results!  Our longest paper chain was 39 feet long!

This math challenge is a great way to get students to work together to creatively solve math related problems!  We actually do one of these a month at our grade level and the kids go crazy for them!  Here is the link to the Paper Chain pack!  The pack contains data sheets, instructions, and more!
