As part of our work on addition, the children applied their skills to a problem solving game called ‘Strike it Out.’ The children had to write addition calculations to 20, crossing out each of the numbers they used. Whilst writing many addition calculations, the children used a broad range of numbers. The challenge was to use as many of the numbers on the number line as they could! The winner was the person who prevented their partner from creating an addition calculation.
The children really enjoyed this mastery challenge and were already thinking about how the game could be extended to include subtraction. Great problem solving Eagles!
