Village Fete Maths

 "All the fun of Binomial Theorem"

Year 7 students tested their metal against the Year 10 GCSE Statistics class, who designed a village fete side show using the Binomial Theorem. 
The first mention of the binomial theorem was in the 4th century BC by a famous Greek mathematician by name of Euclids. The binomial theorem states the principle for expanding the algebraic expression (x + y)n expressing it as a sum of the terms involving individual exponents of variables x and y. Each term in a binomial expansion is associated with a numeric value which is called coefficient.  Reference Cuemath
