Nerf Gun maths


In the nerf gun challenge children shot nerf gun bullets at plastic bottles. Each large bottle was worth 10 points. Children then added the tens together and in the process gained an understanding of the number of tens within a number. For example 4 tens as a number is 40 and 14 tens as a number is 140. This number knowledge is important when using strategies to solve maths problems. Tilly did a great job presenting her understanding of this task.
