For a one-off lesson. To stretch their brains, get them thinking about maths symbols, number theory. Tell children to draw a Splog -- emphasise it must have 3 tentacles. They are to create numerals suitable for the Splogs. Challenge them to use as few different symbols as possible. Ideally they will 'invent' place value, using base 3. Plenary: discuss how place value makes system more powerful, flexible etc. Can introduce idea of binary -- link to ICT.

A useful lesson idea getting pupils to draw a 'splog' based on mathematical ideas. Thanks for sharing.
