    Kia ora,

    This week, you will create a problem-solving activity for the escape room. You will work in pairs for this activity. 

    Instructions:

    1. Create 5 clues.

    2. The answer should be one-digit number and give a passcode at the end. 

    3. Participants need this passcode to go to the next level. 

    4. The problem should be mathematical and require a strategy to solve. It should not be very easy or simple. 



    1. Complete Numeracy Ninja Do Now challenge.
    2.  Record and underline the short date with a ruler and record the session's Learning Intention at the front of your maths exercise books.  Please write in pencil, and rule/underline and mark with red pen. 
    3. Work in pairs.

    4. After class discussion, complete the activity.

    Fast finishers can work on their  Maths Buddy reinforcement activities.

    5. Mark exercise bookwork, in groups. 
    6. Reflect on your understanding and effort, in your ' Maths Evaluation '. 






    Homework:   

    Maths Buddy is your priority for your at-home practice. Please complete your set homework tasks by Friday at 9:30am (Forest's homework routine has now changed to 'Due on Fridays & re-issued on Fridays' to allow you more time).  If you have completed your assigned activities please do extra practice on your 'Luditimetables programme and complete your Numeracy Certificate tasks.
