Head Start Percentages of an Amount Higher or Lower

(0)
Students play this game in pairs. Each pair has two piles of shuffled cards: Percentage Cards and Amount Cards. Before students select their cards in each round, they must decide whether the answer which is Higher or Lower is the winner. Each player then takes a percentage card and an amount card from each pile. Both players work out their percentage of their amount and check their opponent’s answer. The player who has the higher (or lower) answer as determined before the cards were chosen wins and keeps the cards. When one pile is empty, the player with the most cards wins.

Head Start Prime Number Hunt

(0)
This activity is designed to practice: Establishing whether a number up to 100 is prime. Description of Activity: Students should be handed a 1-100 number square. Circle the number 2 then cross out all the other multiples of 2. Circle 3 then cross out all the other multiples of 3. 4 is already crossed out so circling the next number would be 5; cross out all the other multiples of 5. Continue this process until the final number is circled (97). Use the RAG analysis to track progress. Differentiation strategies and teaching hints and tips provided. All answers are provided.
