I usually find place value 7 DIGIT WHOLE NUMBERS such a boring topic to teach. This year, I was determined to make some resources that meant it wasn’t such a mundane topic. Ladies and gents, I present to you…. my 7 digit whole number place value scavenger hunt. I used this fun, practical activity with my Year 6 class (but could also be used with Year 5) and it was a total hit. They spent the lesson on their feet excitedly searching for answers and solving the twenty place value questions. Best of all, it’s minimal prep – just print and hide – so all you have to do is chill and enjoy your evening. Aligned to the Year 6 maths UK National Curriculum **Included: ** Page 1: Credits Page 2: Instructions Page 3-22: Twenty Scavenger Hunt cards Page 23: Recording Sheet Page 24: Answer Sheet Your class will be asked 20 questions like: What value is in the hundred thousands column in the number 976 234? Rearrange these cards to make the largest multiple of 3…. Which number is greater – 650 213 or 653 210 How to use: Minimal prep before the lesson: Print and hide the 20 scavenger hunt cards around the classroom, hall or playground. Print out the recording sheet – enough for one per group. Children will need one pencil or pen per group and something to lean on like a clipboard. Working in pairs, solve the scavenger hunt question at the bottom of the page in the pink box. Hunt for the answer which will be in a blue box at the top of the page on another card hidden somewhere around the room. Once you’ve found that scavenger hunt card, record the letter in the yellow star and answer the question in the pink box underneath. Now you can hunt for the corresponding answer on another hidden scavenger hunt card. Repeat until you have completed the 20 question loop.

Are you looking for a fun, Christmas activity to do with your KS2 maths class in the last week of term? This ‘Who Kidnapped Rudolph?’ Xmas activity develops their logical thinking. Children are given a map of Elf Town and a series of clues which they need to work through in order to solve the puzzle and determine which elf kidnapped Rudolph. This is zero prep and is perfect for the last week of term. When I do this activity with my class (Year 6, set 3) I place the children in mixed ability pairs. Then, I read this introduction to the pupils: It was a particularly foggy Christmas Eve in Elf Town, and Santa needed Rudolph at the helm of his sleigh more than ever before. But, shortly after the Christmas pudding was served, a very naughty elf kidnapped the infamous, red-nosed reindeer resulting in an unflyable sleigh. Can you solve the clues and help save Christmas? Next, I let the children get started by giving them a copy of the map and clues. I tend to sit with a group who appear to be struggling, as does my TA, and stop the class periodically to discuss what they have discovered/give clues for the next step/bring them to the same point. E.g. plot where the elves live first, then work out the distance traveled, next figure out the suspects to determine the kidnapper. It took my class around a 50 minute lesson to complete. This resource includes: An introduction sheet A map of Elf Town Clues A table to record distances in (4 per page to save paper) x2 Answer sheets Let’s be friends: Twitter: BrownBearMaths Instagram: brown_bear_maths YouTube: Brown_Bear_Maths I hope that this resource brings fun and creativity to your classroom.

Mrs Brown Bear xoxo ps Merry Christmas **pps Somebody has left a review below that says that this resource is incomplete. This is not correct - it is complete I did it with my class on Monday. It says in the clues that the distance between each house is 8 reindeer miles. It also says that elves always take the most direct route and travel on the dotted lines. I hope this helps! **
