Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Classify primes versus composites, proper versus improper fractions, times shorter or longer than 1 hour, and problems that ask for area (two measurements) versus volume (three).

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting rounds, dragging 4 cards into 2 groups - Prime or composite: 29, 28, 31, 33 - Proper or improper fraction: 3/5, 7/5, 2/7, 9/7 - Less or more than 1 hour: 45, 90, 30 and 120 minutes - Finds area or volume: a room 3 by 4, a box 3 by 4 by 5, a field 20 by 30, a cupboard 1 by 2 by 2

How to use it in class

Use as a mid-unit or pre-quiz review; about 5 minutes. - Play in teams and let teams keep a times-table grid for round 1 - If round 1 goes badly, have the whole class try 33 ÷ 3 and 28 ÷ 2 together - In round 4, point out that the items with tall/height have three numbers, so they are volume - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Round 1: 33 often goes in the prime group because it is odd and unfamiliar; check with 3 × 11 - Round 1: 29 and 31 may be thought composite just for being two-digit; try dividing by 2, 3 and 5 - Round 3: 90 minutes may be put under 1 hour by children who think an hour is 100 minutes; stress that 1 hour is 60 minutes
