1. Archery
The distance between the archer and the target (1.22m of diameter) is 70m.
The target score varies from 1 to 10, according to the proximity to the inner circle.
The archer has 40 seconds to shoot each of their six arrows. In the finals, the archer has 20 seconds to shoot each of their three arrows. In the air, the arrow can travel at more than 240km per hour.
In the knockout system, any mistake can rule the athlete out of the competition. In individual events, archers with the best results after five series of three arrows go through to the next phase. The same rule applies to team events, but the best teams after four series of six arrows go through.

2. Scoring
An archery target is made up of 10 circles with a smaller circle, the bullseye in the centre.
The outer white circles are worth 1 and 2 points.
The black circles are worth 3 and 4 points.
The blue circles are worth 5 and 6 points.
The red circles are worth 7 and 8 points.
The yellow circles are worth 9 and 10 points.

3. Yr 1 Number: Represent and solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of strategies including counting on, partitioning and rearranging parts.
Year 2 Number: Solve simple addition and subtraction problems using a range of efficient mental and written strategies.

4. Put a cross on the target where the arrows could have landed.

6. Year 3 Measurement and Geometry: Measure, order and compare objects using familiar metric units of length, mass and capacity.
Year 4 Measurement and Geometry: Used scaled instruments to measure and compare lengths, masses, capacities and temperatures.
Teaching Ideas:
Have students estimate 70m by placing themselves on the oval from a fixed point. Measure 70m and discuss their estimates. What could they have used to help them estimate? Often body measurements are the most flexible to use. Get them to measure their strides. Use this to make another estimate of where 70m would be.
Compare length measurements throughout the Olympics. Use grid paper to mark the lengths of various events. Discuss how much will one unit be worth? 1 unit = 1 metre?
An Olympic swimming pool? 50m
A basketball court? 15m
A soccer field? 120m

7. Year 4 Measurement and Geometry: Use simple scales, legends and directions to interpret information contained in basic maps.
Year 5: Solve problems involving multiplication of large numbers by one- or two-digit numbers using efficient mental, written strategies and appropriate digital technologies.
Year 7: Recognise and solve simple ratios.
