10 Great Maths Activities


Here are 10 links for you to have a go at over the Summer Term. Try and do just one a day for about 20 minutes.

1. Got-It! This is a great game to try and beat the computer at. Try changing the total to achieve and see what happens. Can you work out how to win every time?

2. click here to have a go at this Multiples and factors game from the NRICH maths site.  Link numbers together from a hundred grid to make the longest combination possible; the rule is that they have to be factors or multiples of the previous number. I'll give a prize for anyone achieving over 40!! (and proving it!!)

Higher and Higher!

Year six were given a challenge in their DT lesson - to build the highest possible, free standing tower, possible using 7 sheets of card, 7 pieces of A4 paper, sellotape and scissors. To make things harder, they only had 30 minutes to complete the task AND they also had to design a poster advertising their tower!

Here are some pictures showing year six hard at work.
