We had to choose a noun, verb, adjective, adverb or pronoun and stick it on the head of our partner. By using good questions, our partner had to guess what was written on our head. It was good fun – and we learned a bit about different types of words too.
We had this problem to do in class today –
“You need six drinking straws the same length. Cut two of them in half. You now have eight straws, four long and four short. Arrange the straws to make 3 squares all the same size”
We worked in pairs to try and solve the problem – it wasn’t easy but most people managed to find a solution.
You could try this problem at home – can you see if you can solve it by having no straws sticking out the side this time?
