We are ExcitEd to share a firework themed maths project specifically planned for UKS2 (Year 6). Spend an afternoon allowing children to apply their maths skills in this topical, fun, themed lesson. This download includes: A Detailed Lesson Plan PowerPoint Lesson presentation with starter activity and plenary included. All printable resources are included - emails from the council, fireworks price list and planning sheets - Differentiated four ways. Answer Sheets for teachers are also included. For this lesson, children get to take on the role of pyrotechnic event coordinators. They’re going to plan a fireworks display! They will work in teams or pairs and get to use calculators to check their work. This has been a winning formula with my classes. The starter activity is a game called Target 100. Children must add, subtract, divide or multiply a start number to attempt to make 100 or stop anyone else making 100. Children will be given ‘an email’ from a local council asking them to plan a fantastic fireworks display to celebrate an upcoming national event. What an exciting opportunity! In the form of an email from a council events department, children will be given a brief. This sets out details of a budget and length of time that their display must be along with any special requirements which could make this activity more challenging. Along with the email, each team will be given a fireworks price list and a planning sheet. These handouts will support the children in planning their displays and completing the task. Included is also a follow up email from each council which can be used as an extension activity, asking children to calculate prices in discounts are added, or ticket prices for the event. The plenary ends the session with a review of questions about planning a fireworks display. Answer sheets for each differentiated activity are also included to make marking, reviewing and following up this lesson simple.
