MULTIPLES
• Children work in groups of 4, each bringing their
6 bricks to the play space.
• Work with a partner in the group of 4, and build
your colours into groups of 2, as quickly as you can.
(2 reds / 2 greens / 2 blues / etc.)
Q: How many groups of 2 do you have?
Q: Can you count your bricks in 2s?
Q: How many bricks did you count?
Variations:
• Combine your grouped colours with the other 2 partners to
create groups of 4. (4 red / 4 greens / etc.)
Q: How many groups of 4 do you have?
Q: Can you count in 4s to say how many bricks you have
altogether? (24 / 4 x 6)
Q: How many 2s are found in 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 ?
Q: How many 4s are found in 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 ?
• Work in groups of 3 and do grouping in 3s.
• Work in groups of 5 and do grouping in 5s.
PROBLEM
SOLVING
• Children work in groups of 2 / 3 / 4 depending on
the number range you are using.
• Teacher reads out a problem. Children listen then
discuss with their group what the equation will be.
• E.g. Max has 6 sweets. How many more does he
need to have 12?
• Group decides on equation of either 12 – 6 = ? or
6 + ? = 12
• Children use their bricks as concrete apparatus to
work out the answer.
• Each group shares their answer.
• Various problem-solving activities can be practised
daily.
