Tennis problem solving



Following Wimbledon Year 5&6 have been solving various tennis related problems.


For example how many rectangles can you see on a tennis court?






We solved problems related to the world's fastest servers at tennis. Sam discovered that if Andy Roddick was able to serve a tennis ball from York to Aberdeen, it would take one hour 58 minutes for the ball to reach its destination. Estella calculated that a ball from Venus Williams travelling from Glasgow to Sheffield would take one hour 53 minutes.
