Have you ever seen a mustard seed? The mustard seed was, at the time, believed to be the smallest of all seeds. It is so small that if you were holding one in your hand and you dropped it you would have a very hard time finding it because it is so hard to see.
Even though the mustard seed is so small when it is planted in the ground, it grows into a tree large enough for birds to stand on its branches and to make their nests in it.
When you look at this little mustard seed before
planting it in the ground, you might think it would
be impossible for a seed so tiny to grow into a tree.
But God turns that tiny seed into a wonderful place
for birds to come and rest and sing.
When Jesus told this parable He compared it to loving God. When children, like you, or adults begin to love Jesus, their love is like a tiny mustard seed before it is planted in the ground. It starts out very small at first. Then when you keep on listening to what Jesus says and obeying Him, then the love grows bigger and bigger. Soon it will grow like the big mustard tree.
You can also find this parable in Mark 4:30-32; and Luke 13:18-19.
The idea is to try and make all the numbers from 0 to 20 by using BIDMAS.
The only number you are allowed to use is 4.
You MUST use four lots of 4 in each equation (number sentence).
You may not use any other numbers.
If you want to find 0 you can use the following sum:
(4 + 4) – (4 + 4) = 0
To find 3 you can use:
(4 + 4 + 4) ÷ 4 = 3
This is a ready to go lesson that will take an hour+ depending on ability level. It also has a simple extension task.
