Today during Mad 4 Maths Primary 5 played a game called 'Slides and ladders'. The rules are similar to that of 'Snakes and Ladders' whereby if the counter landed on a slide the counter had to move down but if it landed on a ladder then the counter climbed the ladder. While playing the game of Slides and ladders the children had to name the 3D shape their counter landed on, provide the number of faces, edges and vertices on the shapes. This was good revision of 3D shape. After this game the boys and girls worked with a partner to play a game of 'Headbandz.' A card displaying a 3D shape was placed in the headband and the child wearing the headband had to ask lots of questions to guess the 3D shape they had. The other children were only allowed to answer yes or no to the questions posed. During day 2 of Mad 4 Maths the children enjoyed solving 3D shape clues and then used QR reader on the iPad to check if their answer was correct.
