Add and Subtract to 20 - Loop card game!
20 cards in total.
Differentiation: Put children who are not so confident (adding and subtracting numbers to 20) in pairs so that they can work together.
.
Game rules:
.
Start with any number e.g. 9 (highlighted in grey at the top of ‘one’ of the cards)
The child holding this card must say the question written on their card (making sure everybody can hear) e.g. ‘What is 4 + 3?’
The person holding the answer says,* ‘I am 7’*
The game continues until you end up with the same person who started (hence why it’s called a loop card game)
A great practical maths lesson.
Worksheet attached.
Just measure the objects shown in the table with an appropriate measuring instrument, to the nearest cm.
WORD OF THE WEEK
A great activity to develop vocabulary and sentence-building!
Just choose a word you want to focus on (e.g. tractor).
Divide the children into pairs and ask them to find specific vocabulary related to the word (the words have to begin with the letters in the word). For an additional challenge, each word can be put into a sentence.
E.g. the word tractor has 7 letters so the children have to find 7 words associated with tractor…
T = Tyres
Sentence: Tractors have large tyres with thick treads.
R = Robustness
A = Agriculture
C = Cultivate
T = Trailer
O = Outdoors
R = Ruggedness
You can help each group by giving them a dictionary, thesaurus and iPad to use.
Volunteers can share their words and sentences at the end of the activity.
Words and sentences could be displayed on a ‘WORD OF THE WEEK’ wall.
9 templates attached (3-letter word, 4-letter word, 5-letter word, 6-letter word, 7-letter word, 8-letter word, 9-letter word and 10-letter word).
