Time to get outdoors to do some maths and numeracy work! Below are a list of tasks and activities that you could try.
Data handling: Cars
Create a tally chart for different colours of cars. Have a look out at the road and keep a tally chart of how many cars you see going past.
| Colour | Tally | Total |
| red | III | 3 |
| blue | IIII | 4 |
| silver | II | 2 |
| other | IIII | 4 |
- Which colour car was most common?
- How many cars passed altogether?
- What was the total number of red and silver cars?
Registration plate game
Looking at car registration plates, use the numbers to create numeracy questions.
example: the numbers on this plate are 5 and 7.
- 5×7=35
- 7×5=35
- 7+5=12
- 7-5=2
- 5-7=-2
Estimating and Time
- Find a long strip of land that is safe for you to move on.
- Estimate how long it will take you to run the length of the space.
- Now time yourself running the length.
- How close was your estimation?
- Were you slower or faster than you though?
Now try the same activity but instead of running try:
- walking
- skipping
- hopping
- jumping
Have fun outside and make the most of the good weather. Share your learning with your teacher on Seesaw.
