Probably one of the most difficult PRACTICAL lessons to plan and execute, BUT it is doable!
My suggestion: Choose a sunny day (as you will need to do this lesson on the playground).
Bring in a variety of small/medium-sized plastic containers from home (about 10) and label them (1 - 10). Bring in lots of large buckets too … if you have a class of 30, you will need 8 buckets. You could ask the children to bring in some from home too!
Arrange the small/medium-sized containers in a large hoop on the playground.
Give each group of 4 children a bucket of water … YES, a bucket!! Don’t panic!
Give each group a small and large measuring cylinder and a small and large measuring jug.
.
**Activity: **
.
Using the equipment provided, each group must choose a plastic container (from the hoop) to estimate then measure (using their equipment).
Record estimates and actual measurements on the sheet provided.
.
Extension Activities:
.
Calculate the DIFFERENCE between the estimate and actual measurement for each container.
FUN FUN FUN: You could always have a water fight at the end!

**3 Target Boards **
3 Target Boards: Whole Numbers, Decimal Numbers & Negative Numbers.
The idea of Target Boards has been around for a long time and they are an effective way of working with numbers.
How it works: Your student’s are presented with a grid of numbers and you say something like: Which numbers add up to make 20? How many multiples of 4 can you find? Give me two numbers that have a sum of 18. How many odd numbers are there?
There are lots of variations you can do with this activity … split the class into two groups and get them to compete, individual time trials etc.
