Practical tasks, games and ‘real-life’ challenges

2. Today we will…
explore probability as an extension of activities with predicting, reasoning and testing;
consider the role of mathematical learning through games;

3. Noughts and Crosses Just to get you thinking!! Top tips? Strategies?
3x3
4x4

4. Move any 4 to form 3 squares

5. Remove any 4 to form 4 triangles

6. Add 5 to form 4 identical shapes

7. Add 8 to form 4 identical shapes

8. Digit cards (i) You will need one set of 0 to 9 digit cards
And a series of ‘challenge statements’
a number greater than 50
an even number
a multiple of 10
as near to 75 as you can
a number less than 10
Use the digit cards to try to make numbers matching each card. Each card may only be used once.
Make up another list of challenges to challenge your table

9. Digit Cards (ii) 5 4 7 1 6 2 9 8 3 You will need 1 set of 1 to 9 cards
Shuffle the cards and lay them in a line face up on the table
You must try to make a continuous number sentence starting at the first number and finishing with the last, using only addition and subtraction, and having a total as near to 10 as you can 5 4 7 1 6 2 9 8 3
