Algebra is a word many children dread. These algebra task cards are a fun way for your class to get the basics to algebra problem solving. Simply print (laminate if you like), stick the cards around your school, and send them off on their algebra adventure. We have had great success with these cards and now the children ask to do more algebra!

Each student will plan and make their own magic potion using natural materials that they can find in your outdoor space. There are two differentiated sheets, one which gets your students to think about what they might include in their potion, the other that expands on this, getting them to think about the purpose of the potion.

This is a great activity around Halloween, if you’re looking at living things, or just as a fun team building / problem solving outdoor activity. Your students will hunt out and take a close look at a spider’s web before working as a team to create their own human web using string or wool.
First, get your class to find a spider’s web (ideally with a magnifying glass) and draw a picture of it on the sheet, looking carefully at the small details. Once they have completed the sheet, give each group (of 3 or 4) some string / rope and scissors and ask them to go find two trees or posts that are close to each other. They will use the trees / posts to create their human webs, thinking carefully about the design of the spider’s web they looked at.
Once they have finished they can draw their web or take a picture and stick it on the sheet.
It can be useful to give your class a lesson on simple knots before doing this activity.
Equipment:
2 x human web sheets
Magnifying glasses
String / rope
Scissors
Camera (optional)

This activity gets your class thinking carefully about adjectives and things that they could describe by placing the cards next to items they can find outside that match the adjective. For example, they might place ‘big’ next to a big tree. As an extension, they could then go on to use the card and the item they have found to write a sentence containing the adjective.
This activity is differentiated by the support given and the amount of input before the lesson. It may help to put your students in mixed ability groups, or for small groups to complete the activity with an adult.
