This board game is a great way for students to practise elapsed time problems without them even realising they’re learning. The game is ideal for 2 – 4 players and only needs the board, some counters, and some dice to play. They’ll roll the dice to progress along the board, landing on squares with elapsed time problems that they must work out and move their counter accordingly. This pack contains 4 levels of differentiation. We love using this game for extension and filler work as well as a whole lesson activity and fun way to teach time.
Contents:
Diff. 1: The board progresses in hour intervals
Diff. 2: The board progresses in half hour intervals
Diff. 3: The board progresses in half hour intervals using the 24-hour clock.
Diff. 4: The board progresses in 15-minute intervals

For this activity students will be set the challenge to lift their partner off the ground without touching them using a set of materials provided. The idea is that they’ll create some kind of lever so they can stand on one side of the plank of wood and lift their partner on the other.
Our suggested teaching structure:
Planning sheet: 15 mins Building their lifting device: 20 mins Evaluation sheet: 15 mins This activity works best if students are left to produce their own designs and figure things out for themselves, however if by the end of the session, not all the students have figured out how to lift their classmate by using a lever, get some students to demonstrate and begin to explain how it works.
Resources per group:
Activity pack
Planning sheet
Evaluation sheet
Plank of wood
Log / pipe (something to wrest the lever on)
Rope
