To spark curiosity and enthusiasm for mathematics by engaging students in a creative and interactive scavenger hunt that incorporates mathematical concepts.
Welcome, Year 6! Today, we're going on a Maths Scavenger Hunt! This will be a fun and exciting way to explore mathematical concepts right here in our classroom and around the school. You’ll be solving puzzles, finding clues, and using your maths skills to complete challenges!
The Clue Reveal: I will hand out your first clue, which will lead you to a specific location around the classroom or school.
Solve the Problem: Once you reach the location, there will be a mathematical problem or puzzle. Solve it as a team! You might need to calculate a perimeter, find fractions of numbers, or interpret a graph.
Next Clue: If you solve your problem correctly, you'll receive the next clue that will lead you to another location!
Teamwork: You will work in pairs or small groups to encourage teamwork and discussion. Remember to share your ideas and strategies!
“To find your first clue, look for the number that’s twice the smallest prime number you can find. Under that number, your first task is waiting for you!”
By the end of this scavenger hunt, you will:
Now that you have your instructions, let’s get our thinking caps on and prepare to embark on this mathematical adventure. Remember, it's all about having fun while learning!
On your marks, get set, let’s go find some maths! 🕵️♂️✨
