Here are some challenge cards that will use a whole range of your maths skills and knowledge. The cards have a star system in the top corner which indicates ability level from 1 to 3. You can complete as many as you wish. Top tip - read the question carefully, maybe even two or three times and think about or discuss what mathematical knowledge you are being asked to use and the best way to solve the problem.

We can then display your learning altogether (just like we do at school) but via the blog so you can see what your friends are up to! Again, this is an optional piece. We know some of you will do other creative learning at home. Please see below for further information and examples.

Animal Habitat in a Shoebox!  Can you create an animal habitat in a shoebox? Maybe do some research first to see which habitat to do.
