Maths - Group 3

Warm Up:

“Guess My Number” game:

• One player selects a number between a stated range, for example a number between 1 and 100.

• The other players ask questions to identify the number.

  • For example: Is it more than 500?

  • Is it an even number?

  • Is it between 200 and 400?

  • Does it divide by 5 evenly?

• Who can find the number using the least number of questions?

• Avoid asking about specific numbers, for example “is it 27?”, or “is it 36?” until it is obvious that it is correct.

Warm Up:

I Spy

What you need - A pack of cards with the picture cards removed. Ace counts as 1; 40 cards in total.

What to do:

• Deal out the cards in 10 rows of 4 or 5 rows of 8.

• Players take turns to challenge the others. For example I spy two cards that add to 12

• Players look for 2 cards next to each other, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, that add to the number specified.

• The player that finds the combination collects the 2 cards. If the combination of cards cannot be found, the player who posed the ‘I Spy’ question takes the two cards.

• If the player makes an error and there is no such combination of cards, nobody collects any cards and the next player takes their turn.

• As cards are removed, the remaining cards are rearranged to fill in the spaces.

• The winner is the player with the most cards once all the cards have been collected
