Design Challenge

We need a better way to find and get our ladder challenge sheets when we progress to a new one.

Your design brief:

It needs to show how the ladder sheets will be organised; remember there are many and when learners go looking for their next challenge they look in the ladder then in what number of that ladder.
It needs to be strong so it will last- some people are not so gentle when they get their ladder.
There needs to be an easy way to refill the system when the ladders run low and being able to see which ones need refilling is important.

The winning brief(s) stand to win a really exciting prize ( no it's not chocolate) and the chance to create their winning system(s)

Good luck

A cool game to make you think of ways to make numbers

However reading in bed in relatively safe. What's keeping you up tonight?

Can you make one of these?

The instructions are missing!

Write the instructions then 20 facts in order ready to make- check that they are challenging for your level.

Play Triangle Flash!: A Math Game

What You Need:

Triangle cards
scissors
Marker Pens

What You Do:

Create the Triangle Flash cards: Cut an index card into a triangle. In each of the corners of the flash card write numbers belonging to a multiplication/division fact. For example if you write 63 at the top of the triangle, you would write 7 in one corner and 9 in another. Continue creating all the multiplication/division facts through nines.
Play the game: Hold the card up for your partner to see and place your thumb over one of the corners, covering a number. Your partner should identify the number that is covered by recognizing the other uncovered numbers as part of the multiplication/division fact. Continue playing the game with the cards, varying which section you cover each time.
Keep a record: While playing, keep a list of facts that your partner misses, or has a harder time remembering. Go back and practice those facts, covering different numbers as a way to practice both multiplication and division.

Today we are making sure we understanding words by looking for clues within them.

Using the puzzle to learn some special parts of words.

Then we will do the online activities-

Then to test our knowledge we will create a puzzle for others using similar words- on puzzle maker.

Remember this? Check our what you have remembered and what you need to think about more when searching for information

"Instead of said, these words really bring our writing to life! " explained Mrs Campbell.

We have been trying to use great descriptive words instead of said. It really helps inform our audience of what's happening and what characters are feeling.

Can you put each of these words into a sentence? Are there any words here that you don't know?
