Summary
How can you cross each bridge in this city exactly once?
- First, students will cross five bridges exactly once.
- Next, they’ll try to cross seven bridges one time each. ⚠️ Note: This is impossible.
- They come up with three more layouts using seven bridges. At least one should work.
- Students count how many bridges come out of the cities. They’re looking for patterns to determine whether a map will work.
- Finally, they try four other maps and learn about Euler and the Seven Bridges of Königsberg!
