Thirsty
https://nrich.maths.org/6971 Added: 26 Mar 2020 Contributor: PDST Resource type: Lesson PlanIn this problem learners need to coordinate three pieces of information about each glass: what it contains (orange or blackcurrant juice); how much it contains (full, half full or empty) and its height (tall or short). Through productive mathematical talk, the group will be developing their logical reasoning skills.

Skip Counting
https://www.scoilnet.ie/pdst/maths/...tudent/jc/jc-numbers/skip-counting/ Added: 25 Jun 2019 Contributor: PDST Resource type: Guide/notes / SimulationUse this interactive file to learn how to use skip counting when adding and subtracting. Place the red dot a distance equal to the skip length from the blue dot. Place the purple dot a distance equal to the skip length from the red dot. Place the green dot a distance equal to the skip length from the purple dot. Reset the applet to place the blue dot at a different location on the number line and to change the skip length.
