The old problem of the farmer/goat/cabbage and wolf brought to you in technicolor. Students work in teams or pairs to solve the problem and work out the best way to present their solution to the class. Works well as a starter for lots of objectives.

31 slides, each with a real life mistake for your students to correct while you relax at the start of the lesson. Alternatively, why not use them in the middle or at the end of your lesson ? Correct answers are NOT included since if you do not know the answer, it’s probably not best to show them to students.
