To engage Year 3 students in an exciting mathematics lesson that focuses on addition and subtraction using real-life scenarios.
Today, we are going on a Maths Adventure! Are you ready? Grab your explorer hats and get ready to solve some exciting challenges that will lead us to a hidden treasure!
Once upon a time in a small town called Mathsville, there was a legendary treasure hidden deep in the forest. Legend has it that to find the treasure, we first need to solve a series of maths puzzles that will guide us to the treasure spot.
Story Time: Start by sharing the story of the lost treasure. Use animated expressions and a dramatic voice to make it more captivating.
Treasure Map: Present a colourful treasure map that contains various locations marked with special symbols (e.g., trees, rivers, mountains). Each location corresponds to a maths problem!
Group Division: Divide the class into small teams of 'explorers'. Each team will have a specific location on the treasure map to explore.
Each location you visit holds a mystery number, which you must uncover by solving addition and subtraction problems. For example:
As your team solves these problems, you will earn pieces of the treasure map that will lead you closer to the treasure!
Once all teams have completed their challenges, we will put together the pieces of the treasure map. But beware! Some puzzles might be tricky, and we will need to work together to find the answers and our hidden treasure!
Now, explorers, are you ready to begin your adventure? Let’s map out our path to victory! 🏆
With our adventure ahead, let’s grab our pencils and paper, and get started! Remember, a good explorer uses their math skills wisely.
Let the treasure hunt begin!
