Today’s topic is: Setting Goals
PE/MATHS
- Set yourself some outdoor goals that you can complete. Time or score this task and record your time/score. e.g. bouncing a ball, running to and from the letterbox, skipping without stopping etc.
- Repeat your activities later in the day, can you beat your earlier time/score?
Maths Game: Creative Counting/Outdoor Maths
For today’s maths lesson, go outside into your yard and count how many of the things below you can see:
- birds
- trees
- flowers
- pavers
- kids’ toys
- tables and chairs
- animals
- transport
🌼 flowers = 2 points
🦜 birds = 3 points
🌳 trees = 4 points
🐱🐠🐔🐶 animals = 5 points
🚗🚚🛴🚲 transport = 6 points
Challenges:
- Add together combinations of points (e.g. add the points from birds with points from transport, 3 (birds) + 6 (transport) = 9)
- Multiply combinations of points
- Use your points to come up with many other maths problems, this may include subtraction, division, or a combination of all of them!
