Thursday 9th June – Practising BODMAS

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To practice using BODMAS.

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to use the rules of BODMAS when solving problems.

STARTER: BODMAS

Can you solve these problems – remember the rules of BODMAS

(14 – 7) x 1 = 2 + 6 x 6 = (2 + 5) x 6 =

12 – 6 ÷ 3 = (12 – 6) ÷ 3 = 15 – ( 5 x 1) =

LESSON: Using these on screen Dice, get students to complete a 5 x 5 grid with the numbers 1 to 25 in any order

Example – Three Dice Grids and Lists

1	16	10	22	11
7	2	21	14	24
17	15	3	6	12
25	4	20	13	5
8	18	9	19	23

On each throw of the dice you have to use the numbers to make one of the numbers on your grid. Just put one line across any numbers you can get. You win as sson as you get a line vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

You must write down the numbers and how you have used them to get your answer so that your winning line can be checked

Eg if we get the numbers, 5, 3, 2, I could put 5 ÷ ( 3 + 2) = 1 and cross out number 1

If we get the numbers 4, 4 and 2, I could put ( 4 x 4 ) ÷ 2 = 8

Lets Play ......

When this game has run its course have a go at question 5 on page 116, then question 7 on page 117

PLENARY: Check answers to work of students by getting them up to board to demonstrate to others
