Maths on the Move

Win A Flat This is so much fun

I have a Reception/Year 1 class I have a Reception/Year 1 class. I Tried the Win A Flat activity and the students really enjoyed doing this activity. The thing the students liked the most was the fact that someone got to be ‘The Boss’. This activity was good for introducing the concept of carrying. I started by introducing it to the whole class. They then broke into groups of three where one person was the boss and the other two were placing the blocks onto their boards. At the end of the lesson I got the students to stamp their results onto a sheet identical to the one they were playing on. See next slide for example of the sheet.

Students recorded what they had at the end of the lesson so the information could be looked at and used for future lesson.
