Log Flume
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to design and calculate the length of the track for a theme park log flume ride using addition sums with measurements that have been recorded in metres.
The class can explain and illustrate how to partition numbers into tens and ones to support their addition calculations when finding the length of the log flume track.
Download this teaching pack including classroom activities and an interactive presentation to design and calculate the length of the track for a theme park log flume ride using addition sums with measurements that have been recorded in metres
Activities in this teaching pack include a set of differentiated worksheets to select the length of different pieces of track that could be used when constructing a log flume ride and record the total length of the track using addition number calculations for measurements in metres.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to calculate the length of the track for a theme park log flume ride with measurements in metres.
This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise solving a range of addition number problems using measurements for length, mass and capacity in a range of units. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
