Doubling with Numicon and free superman challenge

(0)
A good visual introduction using Numicon to show doubles with number sentence to support. Using Numicon cards available from my resources, children can then sort the cards as to whether they are a double or not a double. If they find a double they work out the answer and if not they put a cross on the card. Children love this activity, especially when they free Superman. This could be changed to your favourite character to inspire your class.

Slime Who Wants to be A Millionaire Style Quiz (Slimeionaire!!)

(0)
A Power Point with 20 questions in the Style of who wants to be a millionaire, so all questions have A,B,C,D as a potential answer. The following page then reveals the answer. All questions based on the book ‘Slime’ by David Walliams. I created this for a Year 1 class but this could easily be adapted for another year group. Includes sound effects for fun. During lockdown I used the Power Point on Zoom and the children loved the game. I then screen shot the questions onto See-Saw and the children were able to do this indepenently, 10 questions at a time and earned a certificate. Also available with this download is the certificate to give to children as a reward. This is in Word and is editable. Enjoy and have fun. I have changed the name on the Power Point to ‘Who Wants to be a Slimeionaire’, the children really enjoyed creating up new names for things.
