A couple of activities for Christmas

 For those who do not get the Wilkie Way Newsletter, Wilkie Way Numeracy Resources it is worth considering, Charlotte usually has something challenging to say and there are always some thought provoking activities for the students 

(note: I am neither endorsing nor promoting the Wilkie Way Resources, each teacher/school needs to review them themselves)

This could be sent as a Holiday Project   hahaha

 

 

And if you are looking for a party trick!!

 

 

 

I always liked this one when active in classrooms and preparing problems to solve
