text: ### Exploring Wild & Wonderful Number Patterns
  
  EWWNP means Exploring Wild and Wonderful Number Patterns Created by Yourself! Investigate what happens if we create number patterns using some simple rules.
  
  ### Sending Cards
  
  This challenge asks you to investigate the total number of cards that would be sent if four children send one to all three others. How many would be sent if there were five children? Six?
  
  ### Dice and Spinner Numbers
  
  If you had any number of ordinary dice, what are the possible ways of making their totals 6? What would the product of the dice be each time?
  
  # Arranging the Tables
  
  ## Arranging the Tables
  
  There are $44$ people coming to a dinner party. There are $15$ square tables that seat 4 people - one at each side - like this:
  
  Or the tables can be joined together to make groups like this:
  
  And so on...
  
  Find a way to seat the $44$ people using all $15$ tables, with no empty places.
  
  ### Why do this problem?
  
  This is quite a fun activity to do both numerically and practically using something like multilink to represent the tables. It gives an opportunity for pupils to explore a real situation and see the mathematics contained in it, and what can be investigated further.
  
  ### Possible approach
  
  Pupils should be encouraged to choose what practical bits and pieces might help them to find solutions. The solutions would probably be best recorded somehow. Again, pupils should be encouraged to find good ways of recording which suit them. Some might draw pictures, some may use sketches and some may just use numbers. (Some examples can be found on the sheet linked to the extension below.)
  
  In a plenary, as well as focusing on solutions, you could draw attention to the different ways children have used to record their work.
  
  ### Key questions
  
  What do you see here?
explanation: The document presents a series of mathematical problems and challenges designed for educational purposes, particularly for students to explore number patterns and problem-solving. It includes several distinct questions and activities:
  
  1. **Exploring Wild & Wonderful Number Patterns (EWWNP)**: Encourages students to create and investigate number patterns using simple rules.
  2. **Sending Cards**: Asks students to determine the total number of cards sent if children send one to all others, for different numbers of children.
  3. **Dice and Spinner Numbers**: Challenges students to find the possible ways to make the total 6 with ordinary dice and the product of the dice each time.
  4. **Arranging the Tables**: Requires students to find a way to seat 44 people using 15 square tables with no empty places, either individually or joined together.
  
  The document also provides guidance for teachers on how to approach these problems, including suggestions for practical materials and recording methods.
