Introduction |
|
|
|
Tell pupils you are thinking of a number between 0 and 20 (choose 6 as your
example).
Pupils try and work out what the number is e.g. Is it odd? Is it in the five times table? Is it bigger/smaller than 10?
If pupils find it hard to guess your number, give hints such as 'this number is at the bottom of the clock', 'this is the
number of faces on a cube' or 'I can make this number with three 2p pieces'. Tell pupils they will find maths puzzles like these in the online adventure.
