Probability

Description: In daily life we are always working out the probability of certain events happening or not. Playing probability connect four will give pupils practise as calculating their chances of picking different coloured cards from different combinations.

Learning Outcomes: Pupils will have practised working out the probability and chance of picking specific cards out of ten.

Regular Polygons

 Description: Pupils learn the characteristics of regular polygons while they are studying geometry. In this game they can practise matching the shapes and their angles to the descriptions on the Game Board while playing Connect Four.

Learning Outcomes: Pupils will be able to recall the characteristics of regular polygons.

Perfect Paint Palette

Description: Mixing paint to get the right colours in the right quantity is a fun way for pupils to practise ratio. We have used the styles of various famous artists as well as giving pupils the opportunity to mix the paint for their own masterpiece. A great combination of Maths and Art.

Learning Outcomes: Pupils will be able to work out the ratio of colours that are needed to make a specific colour.

Battle for Angle Forest

 Description: Estimating and comparing are two important components of maths and in this activity the pupils look at the angle presented and decide if they are more or less than the angles on the Game Board. At the same time, they can also play collaboratively building up the story of Angle Forest to see if they can save it from destruction. 

Learning Outcomes: Pupils will know if the angle they see are more or less than obtuse,acute, reflex, right angles or straight line angles.

Learning Outcomes: Pupils will have gaind an understanding of the fat, sugar and fiber content of the food they eat.

Number Balance

Description: Balancing the weights of various monsters to win battles is a fun way for students to practise making up equal amounts. If a werewolf weighs 18 kilos how many other monsters are needed to make up that weight?

Learning Outcomes: Pupils will have practised their mental arithmetic and will be able to compare and balance numbers / weights.

 

Too Many Apostrophes

Description: The use of apostrophes puzzles even adults, so for students learning English it can be even more confusing. Many languages do not have apostrophes or they apply them in a different way, so in this activity we give students practise at identifying where an apostrophe should be placed.

Learning Outcomes: Students will have gained a greater understanding of the correct way of using an apostrophe.
