Activity set-up
Draw a throwing line using chalk or use existing playground markings
Place a markers 2m apart on the throwing line (1 marker per pair of students)
Place 6 bean bags at each marker.

How to play
How to play
The aim of this activity is to investigate number combinations that make 6 by throwing 6 bean bags into hoops.
How many ways can you make 6…?
By throwing bean bags into 2 hoops?
By throwing bean bags into 3 hoops?
Students work with a partner to:
Throw 6 bean bags into 2 hoops.
Students explore different number combinations that make 6.
Students record number combinations on whiteboard in book.
Students use a locomotor movement such as hop, side-gallop, jump to collect bean bags and return to throwing line.

Variations
Variations
Vary the locomotor movement used to collect the bean bags.
Increase or decrease the amount of bean bags thrown to explore different number combinations. For example, 12 bean bags or 20 bean bags.
