Haunted School

The Haunted School is one of a series of mathematical adventures for Y5/Y6 children. This adventure has a focus upon tasks such as those pupils meet in Key Stage 2 Tests. Completing the adventure itself takes a total of two to three hours, but many additional ideas are included for follow up work. The problems are linked by a framework - two ghosts must be coaxed to move to another school. The problem-solving theme is highly motivating and typically children will be genuinely excited as they progress through the adventure and eventually complete the final problem. The tasks have been structured so that teachers can easily use just one a day in a numeracy lesson. Every time a task is completed successfully pupils will discover one part of the menu for the Spookies Goodbye Dinner - but make sure the correct item is discovered otherwise they will still be here next week!
