This resource allows children to apply formulae to a real-world problem.<br /> <br /> Using the fictional &quot;Channel Trains&quot; company, children substitute T for £40, then follow several steps to calculate ticket price.<br /> <br /> Extend your learning asks them to calculate the price of family tickets, then work out whether this is better value than buying tickets separately or not.<br /> <br /> Feedback welcomed!

<p>A good “Final Week” style activity which can last over several sessions or be finished in an afternoon. On sale for this final week of the term. Enjoy the Summer!</p> <p>Everything included - just add dice!</p> <p>This is a roleplay experience for children, aimed at Years 4 and above. Using squared paper and the instructions contained within, children design their own Theme park, use dice to generate the number of visitors, and see how much they made. Added problems such as rides not working add variation to each of the five days. Each ride has its own excitement rating and this means that children need to build a balanced park to fit the tastes of everyone.</p> <p>The game guides children and yourself through each of the steps with clear examples given for each step too.</p> <p>Mathematically this requires HTO x O skills, as well as some basic area knowledge (understanding that a footprint of 3x3 for a ride would mean 3 squares by 3 squares, so 9 squares).</p> <p>Custom-made games to fit a theme can be commissioned on request - get in touch!</p>
