Maths Outdoor Learning 💯❄️

For our outdoor learning this week, we focused on place value and played games in teams to test our knowledge of place value.

These games are fun and also help us consolidate our learning.

We used our fantastic new MUGA for our outdoor learning this week.  It’s so spacious!

In teams, we had to complete the obstacle course which involved us running, doing star jumps, jumping over hurdles and jumping through hoops.  It was exhausting!!
We had to roll the dice at the end and if we rolled the same number twice, we would go and collect that number of cones.  This was a fun way to consolidate our mental maths knowledge.  After this game, the rule was changed and we had to roll two even numbers to be able to go and collect the cones.

When all the cones had been collected, the teams had to work together to count up their points.  For each game, the value of the cones changed so it was difficult to add up.  Some cones were worth 75 points each!!  There was an orange ball thrown in which was worth mega points so it was a race to see which team could collect that!!

Here’s a clip of Malaika rolling her dice …

Some of the rounds were so close …

We then played a fractions game with the dice.  The first person would roll the two dice and have to identify which of the numbers was the numerator and which was the denominator.  Then, the next person would roll the dice and do the same.  We then had to work out who had the smallest fraction and this person won a point.
You could play this at home and make it more difficult by asking your child to find an equivalent fraction of the fraction they have rolled or to simplify the fraction.
