To apply the rules of maths operations.
The adult prepares
-
1 baseplate with a number-sign brick in the top left corner
-
all of the number-bricks in a bowl
-
all of the maths-symbol bricks in a second bowl
The children play
1
Tell the child to take 2 bricks from the number-brick bowl and write a 2-digit number.
2
Ask them to find 3 different mathematical operations whose result is the number written above, and write these operations using the bricks from the 2 bowls.
Facilitation tips
-
Encourage the children to explore different types of operations to match the number. Several
correct answers are possible. -
Peer collaboration: one player writes the operations and the other finds the correct answer.
-
Challenge the children to use only one type of maths operation (addition, subtraction,
multiplication) to reach their number.
