clm33 Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Hi everyone...i need your help :) Have a maths session to plan based on problem solving with a focus of addition and or subtraction! with FS2 children - only working with a group of 6. Had a few ideas but nothing that seems exciting enough. Need an active, fun, and problem solving activity??? if anyone can inspire me that would be great. Thanks for your help! x
Guest Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 I've just done an observation like this with a treasure hunt with problem solving activities. It was for more able children and used questions linked to Winnie the Witch. There are 19 worms in the pot. Winnie uses 8 in a magic spell. Wilbur eats 2. How many are left?
clm33 Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 that sounds like a fun idea...how did u manage the treasure hunt...clues around the outside area maybe? problems to solve then a clue to where to look next? sounds really exciting...would love to know more
Freefaller Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 What about using money? How many sweets/toys can you buy with these coins? Working in pairs: selling + buying items. Do they need any change? Good luck!
Guest Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Yeah, the clues were in the outdoor area. They were printed on envelopes. When they had solved it, we opened the envelope and there was a picture of where the next clue was. One of the kids suggested that we stay together so that Winnie didn't get us so it was easier to keep them all together. I have the clues saved and the sheets if you would like them, just give me a message! Em
