TOPIC
Pupils need to be able to continue basic number sequences eg/ 4,5,6,7,8
32, 30, 28, 26, 24. Plus know the difference between odd and even numbers
Pupils need to be able to find a half or a quarter of an amount or of a shape,
and understand that a quarter can be found by halving then halving again
ACTIVITY
RESOURCES
1. Students stand in a circle and pass
around a ball. As a pupil receives the ball,
they continue the sequence.
OR
2. Students get into teams of 5 and spread
themselves around a room. They shout out
another students name and throw them
the ball. If they do not catch the ball or get
the number wrong they are out of the
game.
Plastic balls
3. Students get into teams of 5. One bucket
is labelled ODD and the other EVEN. Trainer
says a number and one person from each
team has to run to the line and throw a ball
into the correct bucket. If it misses or they
pick the wrong bucket then they are out.
Plastic balls
Buckets
1. Students get into teams of 5. Each team
has a bucket full of balls (must be an even
amount) Each team has to split the
contents of the bucket in half. Fastest team
wins. This can also be repeated with
quartering the contents.
