Maths Help
A donkey is tethered by a piece of rope to an upright post, P, in the middle of a large field. Name the mathematical shape of the patch of grass in which the donkey can graze.
Re: Maths Help
Yes circle. You are doing the HABS papers, aren't you?

Haberdashers Aske School for boys - it's in Hertfordshire,north of London.
My son did that paper, 2004 entry. When my second son did it as a past paper practise,son no. 1 said," I recognise that donkey!! Is he still going round and round?"
I can't believe I found this site and that there are so many people out there doing their best for the kids. I have just finished my two and all along thought that everyone does this on their own without input from their schools. I'm in london as well... where have I been?

Are both of your boys in HABS? Are they happy there?

No they are not at Habs. We liked the school but it is was very costly to send 2 children there. Their standards are high and we're sure the children would have liked it very much. They liked the setting..grounds and facilities and even exam days were very nice. If the school can make exam day enjoyable..they must be doing something right!
We only know 2 boys who attended Habs. One just finished there last year, was not a high flyer type of student and didn't find the school particularly supportive. 'They tend to look after the very bright boys' was his dejected comment.
The other boy is in Yr 9 and said he's happy there. I think it may have something to do with subject choices and university applications that may have disillusioned the first boy.

Re: Habs
I understand. I only have one child and still I sweat over it! My son also enjoyed the exam day tremendously, and yes the grounds are excellent. If however he gets through to QE we may have to send him there even though it is not our first best. Money is a big issue!No they are not at Habs.
