• Dressing by numbers: this fun activity for Key Stage one involves pupils making simple cuttings of a person on brown paper. The cuttings are reproduced 4 times. Paper doll clothes — shirts, hats, skirts, etc. — can be made to fit the dolls & then laid out in sets of four. Written on each piece of the 4-piece outfit should be the facts in a numerical family, i.e. 4+2=6, 6-2=4, . 2+4=6, 6-4=2. Student can make as many mathematics subject facts as they wish as all the clothes will be laid on a table for students to dress up.
• Who wants to be a great mathematician? Basing mathematics subject lessons on TV shows is another good way to instigate active group participation in problem solving. In this game student can sit at tables, while the tutors selects a child to play by setting a 'first one to find solution' question. Once in the hot seat, the pupil will answer a stream of mathematics subject questions on anything from algebra to fractions & beyond. If the contestant gets the solution wrong, another student gets the chance to sit up front. However, each student gets 2 lifelines where they can 'ask the audience' or 'phone a friend'. This is an excellent method for student to develop their mental speed as to find solution is strictly timed.
