● Playing cards from Ace to 9 (where Ace = 1) or a 4 sets of 1-9 cards you’ve made at home.

Players shuffle the cards and put them in a central pile. One person takes 6 cards and places them face up for everyone to see. The goal is to use addition and subtraction to get as close to a total of 100 as possible. Each card can only be used once. It can be used to form a 1- or 2-digit number. Example 1: Imagine a 2, 4, 5, 1, 8 and 5 have been flipped over. A player could: Use 8 and 5 and make 8 represent 8 tens to

create the 2-digit number 85 Use 1 and 5, and make 1 represent 1 ten to create the 2-digit number 15. Add 85 and 15 together to make 100 Example 2: If a student flips over 6, 3, 9, 9, 1, 2, a they could: Make 91 and 9, adding them together to make 100 Make 99 and 1, adding them together to make 100 Make 63 and 29, adding them together to make 92. Then, add 9 more to make 101. Subtract 1 from 101 to make 100. Players score 0 points if they are able to reach exactly 100. Otherwise, they work out their points based on the difference between their total and 100. For example, if a player created a total of 98, they would score 2 points. (100-98=2) Keep a cumulative total of your difference to 100.

The winner is the player to have the lowest points score at the end.

Reaction: The teacher is visibly upset and leaves the classroom. Consequence: (there might be more than one. Think about everyone who is involved.) The other students might feel bad for the teacher and yell at the students. The students might all laugh thinking it’s funny. The teacher might never return to the classroom. You decide not to associate with that student anymore because that was just really mean and not cool.

English Resource - Week 4 - Planning for Success YOUR TASK: Using this image of a magical little house, brainstorm any ideas for a narrative (characters, powers, events, complication etc) - any at all! You can use the space below if you like. Once you have brainstormed LOTS of ideas, select two of your favourite ones and develop them. Try to extend them into a rough beginning, middle and ending of a story. When you have found the one you like best, map the skeleton of it on the Narrative Story Graph on the next page. (There is also an example of a completed Narrative Story Graph attached based on the picture book “Grandad’s Teeth” to show what information looks like in each section.) WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS???

How To Build A Rain Gauge Materials

● a two-litre plastic bottle

● some pebbles or sand

● some water

● masking tape

● a ruler

● a pen or pencil

Procedure

1. Cut the top of the bottle (just below where the bottle begins to

narrow).

2. Place some pebbles or sand in the uneven space at the bottom of the

bottle.

3. Turn the top of the bottle upside down and place it into the other

part of the bottle. Line up the cut edges and tape them together so

the top part is held firmly in place.

4. Stick a piece of masking tape in a vertical line from the top edge of

the bottle to the bottom.

5. Draw a horizontal line on the tape above the top of the pebbles.

Label this line ‘0’.

6. Label each centimetre from the bottom mark to the top of the

bottle.

7. Place the bottle on a level surface and pour some water into the top until it reaches the ‘0’ mark.

Using your rain gauge

Measure how much water is above the ‘0’ mark, and record that in your weather station data. After each

measurement, empty all of the water from the gauge, and refill up to the ‘0’ mark.
