DISCUSSION POINTS

• What does the picture show
  
• Where are they?
  
• What weather is it?
  
• Why are the people running away?
  
• Why are they holding hands

​WRITING OPPORTUNITIES​

• "I knew we should have stayed home today!" shouts the man. Finish the conversation. 
• Write a newspaper report based of the events in the picture.

Today's challenge is a balance and agility test! Create you own bars using sellotape. You can make it as easy or as tricky as you like! Show us a picture below. 

​Think of as three-digit number. Reverse the digits to generate a second number. Subtract the smaller from the larger. Reverse the digits again. Add the two new numbers.
 
e.g.                  341
                         143
 
                        198
                         891
 
                       1089
 
Do you always get 1089? If so, why?
 
Try with 2, 4, 5 digit palindromes.
 

using cocktail sticks and mini marshmallows, what is the tallest tower you can create? show us!

1. Make a shape with 4 multi-link and put it in a bag.
Ask someone to feel the shape and describe it in words – no hand movements!
Everyone makes the shape with 4 multi-link as described.
 
2. What other shapes are possible to make with only 4 multi-link cubes?
 
3. Having identified all the shapes put one in the bag and see if can be identified.

Can you name the shapes you made? how many faces do the shapes have? does this differ with each shape?

Cut out at least 20 circles. Snip 4 times at equal points.
​Now get creative! Slot them together and show us your creations!

• What weather is it like
  
• Name two countries that the person could be in.

A farmer looks across a field of chicken and sheep. He counts 26 heads and 74 legs. How many chicken and sheep does he have?
 
Try to represent this problem in different ways: pictures, models, cubes, graph, algebra, using 26 objects, etc…

Turn your fingerprints into masterpieces! Create animals, people, buildings... the possibilities are endless!

A classic!
 
There is an interactive version on NRich, as you can alter the number of frogs on each side and it separates ‘slides’ and ‘jumps’, so the patterns can be developed and extended:

Create by:

1. Either print out two circles OR get a small paper plate (approx 10-12cm in diamater and draw two circles).
2. Colour in your circles any way you wish. The colours will “mix” on any concentric circles.  Be bold and experiment with different designs and patterns.
3. Cut our your circles.
4. Stick the first circle on some cardboard.
5. Cut out the cardboard circle now.
6. Stick the second circle on to the back.
7. Make two small holes (approx 1cm apart, if not 8mm) on either side of the centre of the circle – the templates have markings for this.
8. Thread string approx 40cm in length through and tie.
