A counting-out game provides a context for students to apply knowledge of sequences, multiples and powers, says Colin Foster…

In this lesson, students analyse a counting-out game, known as the Josephus problem, in which people are excluded one at a time until the person left at the end is the winner.

Students explore which person will be the winner with different numbers of starting people and find connections with arithmetic sequences and powers of 2.

Why teach this?

This lesson invites students to make sense of a counting-out game to predict who will be the winner.
