Tour de France relay
commutercommuter

Tour de France relay

(0)
Great for and end of term or return to school activity In teams of 2 or 3 a fun relay with challenging questions allowing the pupils to still be pushed and review several topics at the same time. Takes 50 minutes on average to complete so a full lesson can be had from this questions all relate to the tour de france and cover probability, speed/distance/time, ratio averages answers included, pupils always enjoy the element of competition (easy to adapt, I allow 2 marks per question. I get the pupils to pick 2 numbers before the start, have one worth 10 marks and only 1 attempt, the other loses all previous correct marks if they get it wrong on their only attempt at it) hope you enjoy it please leave feedback
