Number Day: Teacher’s Notes.

As part of a school Number Day event we used 55 Q6 handsets (11 teams of 5) to complete a variety of maths questions in

teams: multiple choice, numerical and paper-based (Tarsia).

Slide 7 is the start of

what pupils actually saw

55 handsets were used per table.

This was to allow equal points for each team and

also to collect the handsets securely.

We also took time to assign the

handsets to the teams before the

pupils arrived.

your key pad.

What is the final score?

Review.

The activity was a success, Learning & Teaching Scotland who watched one activity commended it, remarking on engagement and use of group work.

Development.

We began by thinking that all questions should be sent to handsets rather than the screen to foster group work.

We now think a variety of screen-aided questions and handset-only questions is better practice. This presentation will be re-worked accordingly.

For example: Question 10 is screen-aided.Question 23 is handset-only

Question 10.• What is the perimeter of this rectangle?

12cm

5cm
