Early Years Big Maths Challenge 24th Jun 2024
8 images

I set the children a challenge to 'get water from the water tray to the plants' using the different pipes, blocks and materials. A few children began the task by exploring the various lengths and shapes of the tubes and pipes available. They were soon joined by all their friends who wanted to help with this huge challenge. Before long they had discussed and came up with a plan to use the chairs to balance the pipes, however they kept on separating in the middle. The only solution (shouted out by one of the children) was " we can all hold the pipes together!".... They did exactly that and.... Success!! The water flowed into the thirsty plants because the children worked together! We all agree- Teamwork makes the dream work
