The Grade 2 enjoy solving numeracy problems. Our latest challenge was a computer-based puzzle and involved a nature reserve where six pairs of animals need to be given new homes in six different environments. The children were given clues, which included positional language, to help them decide which animals should live in which areas.
After, the children worked in pairs to position their own animals and wrote clues for another pair of children to use. They enjoyed doing these so much that that the class decided to make a large display so that children in other classes could have a go. The children all worked together to make a large-scale version of the Nature Reserve plan and movable animal cards. We hope you get a chance to come into the Computer Room and have a go at solving our Numeracy puzzle!

Dear Grade Two,
It looks like you had lots of fun making your display. We really enjoyed having a go at solving your Nature Reserve Puzzle. Your questions and clues were great and we are really looking forward to having another go.
