Outdoor
spaces provide wonderful opportunities to explore how numbers, shapes and
concepts create both the built and natural worlds. So, we developed a “Concept
Race” for classes 4 and 5 on Friday, Oct 4,2019. A fun math race reinforces
math facts in a very visual way. It was carefully designed to promote fluency,
reasoning and problem solving while having fun outdoors. Also, the objective of
this race was to reinforce math facts knowledge and understanding, contributing
to a team effort and carefully observe the actions of all team members. All the
children who had qualified the preliminary round were arranged according to the
four clubs. The team members had to solve the provided math problem and then
move on to the next level. The winner of the “Concept Race” was “ Team Leaders”.
The day creatively engaged, motivated and crucially challenged the children to
practice their skills with numbers in exciting and interactive ways.
