This is something I used with my Primary 3s when I was on placement last school year. The kids loved it. It was a high ability maths group working on measuring and estimating and was lesson 2 in the series. The workbook is something I created to give the children independence to work in pairs and More… go around the area outside the classroom to complete the set activities and try and find carly the centimetre. THey had so much fun doing it and the lesson worked really well! The workbook can be adpated to suit your ow learning environment or school area and to suit the ability of the children your working with. I attached the lesson plan to show the sequence in which I carried out the lesson. This too can be adpated depending on age/stage of the children.

Fantastic :) Thanks so much Paul. I am on my second to last teaching practice in Primary Year 2. They will love this activity as they are a 50% EAL class and like to have lots of hands on activities to do. They also love to get to go out of the classroom ! Brilliant. Well done x

Brilliant!. Thank you so much for this. Used with my higher ability Y2 group and they loved it, especially finding Carly under their lunch box container! Well done.
