How to play
An outdoor relay where students race to touch the cone showing the answer to a maths problem. Moving and thinking together, with an easy step up to two or three digit answers.
- Split the class into two even teams lined up 10 metres apart, with ten cones in the middle in any order.
- Give the first student in each line a ruler.
- Stand in the middle and call a maths problem, such as 4 + 2.
- The two students run, touch the answer cone with their ruler, and race back to hand it on.
- The first to hand over wins a point for their team; both go to the end of the line.
- Play to 10 points. For harder play, use two or three digit answers touched in sequence.
You need: 10 cones, 2 rulers
