We have finished our ‘How to train your dragon’ topic and have turned our attention to Christmas. I have put together some maths puzzles to end the term, which revisit all the puzzles the children have been introduced to over the term. (Click on the pictures to access the puzzles)
- Powerlines (adapted from online game)
- 12 Days of Christmas
- Magic squares with presents (and digit cards)
- Mazes
- Presents
- Wangdoodles
I have added simple, whole pound examples, and more difficult decimal examples. Children in my class are in transition between guess and test strategy and more systematic tick chart method explained in the draft logic problem materials for kieran’s cats.
Shape puzzles
- Maisie Mouse
- Zids and Zods
- Nicknames
I have also uploaded Christmas themed digit cards, which can be use to solve problems such as magic square puzzles, card sharp puzzles, e.g.
You can also access smartboard files and further ideas and activities linked to digit cards here.
