Starter 12 Days of Christmas

12 Days of Christmas Puzzle According to the traditional song, on the first day of Christmas (25th December), my true love sent to me: A partridge in a pair tree On the second day of Christmas (26th December), my true love sent to me THREE presents: Two turtle doves A partridge in a pear tree On the third day of Christmas (27th December and so on) my true love sent to me SIX presents: Three French hens Two turtle doves A partridge in a pear tree

This carries on until the twelfth day of Christmas, when my true love sends me: Twelve drummers drumming, Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a- laying, Five gold rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, and A partridge in a pear tree After the twelve days of Christmas are over, how many presents has my true love sent me altogether?

Answer = 364 presents Which is really interesting when you think there are 365 days in a typical year!

Maths Level 1 Week 1, Day 1 Afternoon

This Afternoon Starter: Your number’s up card game Practise exam paper Last half hour: Maths game - Countdown

Starter Your number’s up card game

Your number’s up... rules Addition game: – Place one game board with the “addition” side facing up – Shuffle the cards and deal each player seven cards – Place the spare cards by the side of the board – The youngest player starts and play goes clockwise – The first player places a card on any of the 3 positions – The next player places a card on either of the remaining two positions – The next player must try to complete the sum – A player who completes the sum takes the card as a “trick” and restarts the next sum – The game ends when a player is the first to place their last card or all spare cards have been taken

Wild Card A player placing a Wild card must declare its value when playing the card If a player cannot go but has a Wild card they must play it If a player cannot go they must pick up a card from the spare pile and play passes to the next player A card that has been picked up cannot be played until it is the player’s next turn

Scoring At the end of each game, each player counts up his/her points Each trick counts as 5 points The player who finishes first also scores an extra 10 points Any players having cards left at the end of the game should count up the number of cards (not the value) they have left and subtract this number from their score

Subtraction game Do the same as for the addition game, but have the “subtraction” side of the game board facing up
