Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Use numbers to give positions such as 1st and 5th, say who is in front of or behind in a line, find the next position, and reason about the middle of a line with an even number of people.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each - The person at the front of the line: 1st - In a line of 5, the last: 5th - The person in front of the 4th: 3rd - In a line of 6, is there exactly one in the middle: no - The position after 9th: 10th

How to use it in class

Use alongside a real line-up in class. 6 minutes. - Before playing, line six children up at the front and have classmates say who is 1st, 2nd and so on - For question 5, let the six try to find the middle, then try it with five - If many miss questions 3 or 4, agree first that we count from the front - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- In questions 3 and 4, confusing in front of and behind, which depends on where you look from, so question 3 may get 1st and question 4 may get 5th - In question 5, choosing yes, the 3rd or the 4th, being used to lines with a middle person - In question 6, choosing 11th by skipping a number
