Marbles Under the Eiffel Tower

The Year 11 Advanced Mathematics group have been looking at topics and skills that will enhance their existing understanding of Mathematics and help them when they start the IBDP next year.

They have been set the task of discovering 'How many marbles fit under the Eiffel Tower?' There are many challenges and considerations in answering this question and I was very impressed with the presentations of each group and the different types of Mathematics that they used, you can see below one example of their presentations.
