Today's challenge is from the NRICH website.

The computer will think of a number between 1 and 100. Can you work out what it is?

Choose a divisor and the computer will give you some information about the number.
The fewer divisions you require, the more points you get:

If you identify the number correctly after

1 or 2 divisions  - you gain 12 points
3 divisions - you gain 11 points
4 divisions - you gain 9 points
5 divisions - you gain 6 points
6 divisions - you gain 3 points
7 or more divisions - you gain 1 point
 

If you guess wrongly you lose 15 points, even if your guess satisfies all the criteria.

CPSHE - WALT: Identify and describe and respect the different groups that make up our community

Introduction

Think about everyone who is in the class. What can you think of that makes everyone different from each other?

Just as the class is made up of lots of different people, all with individual attributes and qualities, so our society is made up of lots of different groups of people who similarly all have their own attributes and qualities.

You are going to think about some of those different groups of people and think about what they bring to society in the United Kingdom.

The Land of the Red People

Read the story The Land of the Red People story (see below).

Follow up with some key questions about the story such as:

  • Were the Red People happy before the other people arrived in their land?
  • How did they feel as the other people arrived in their land?
  • Do you think the land was better or worse for having all the different people living there? Why?
  • Why do you think the Leader’s son thought it would be better to have just the Red People living in the land again? Would you have agreed with him? Why / why not?
  • What do you think the message of the story is?

This story is a metaphor. [a metaphor is a term or phrase that is used to make a comparison between two things that aren't exactly alike but have something in common.]

The Land of the Red People Text

See you all at 9am!

Take care,

Mr Smith
