Numeracy and ICT with Night At The Museum 2

OUT ON DVD & BLU-RAY
9TH NOV
National Schools Partnership and Night at the Museum 2 on DVD have teamed up together to bring you an
exciting and action packed resource that will Bring Learning to Life in your classroom.
The Bring Learning to Life project is all about taking your Key Stage 2 pupils on a journey of discovery – with the
help of some of the characters (historical or otherwise) from the new Night at the Museum 2 on DVD.
There are eight modules in the programme, each intended to engage the minds of your pupils in different ways.
We hope you enjoy taking them on this great-fun learning adventure!
IN THIS PACK
Your guide for this section is Einstein Bobblehead. His two lessons are:
Lesson 1: Getting to grips with data
A joint numeracy and ICT lesson incorporating data handling and use of Excel software (optional). It’s all about
presenting information in a bar chart and a variety of other ways, depending on the year group.
Lesson 2: Even a genius needs help sometimes!
Another numeracy lesson, in which pupils will be challenged to solve all sorts of word problems, which steadily
get harder!
OUT ON DVD & BLU-RAY
9TH NOV
1
In this lesson, Einstein introduces your students to the Natural History Museum in London and sets them a
data-handling task on slide 2 of the PowerPoint presentation. Slide 3 is a little more challenging and is aimed
at Year 5 and 6 students.
LEARNING OUTCOME
All children: presenting information about the museum in a bar chart.
AA Year 5/6: presenting information about the museum in a variety of ways.
CURRICULUM LINKS
Numeracy
data handling (mean, median, mode)
ICT
use of Excel (optional)
YOU WILL NEED
Graph paper
Rulers, pencils, paper, rubbers
Einstein Lesson Plan 1 ‘PowerPoint presentation’ (provided)
Computer access if using Excel software
STARTER
Begin the lesson by showing the children the PowerPoint presentation. In it, Einstein Bobblehead presents
the children with factual information and statistics about the museums in London.
ACTIVITIES
Using the statistics provided, the children should produce a bar graph. They can either do this on graph
paper or in Excel software.
The more able can also be challenged to present the information in a number of different ways.
For Year 5 and 6 pupils, move on to page 3 of the PowerPoint and set them the task of answering
Einstein’s six questions.
PLENARY
Share the graphs the children have produced. Are they all the same? Are their axes correctly labelled?
Help pupils to put right any inaccuracies.
2
In this lesson, Einstein sets pupils the task of helping him to solve all sorts of different word problems, very
similar to the type they’re likely to encounter in everyday life. Your students should complete as many as they
are able to during class time.
LEARNING OUTCOME
The ability to solve all sorts of word problems.
CURRICULUM LINKS
Numeracy
problems of increasing complexity.
YOU WILL NEED
Einstein Lesson Plan 2 ‘Problem solving activity sheet’ (provided). Alternatively, you can display it on your
interactive whiteboard.
STARTER
Explain to your pupils what a word problem is. How do we solve word problems?
Go through the techniques with them.
ACTIVITIES
Pass around the activity handouts and instruct the class to complete as many as they can in the lesson time.
The questions become more complex as they near the end, so different year groups will be able to complete
more than others. Here’s how the questions are graded:
• Years 3 & 4 should be able to complete the first 14.
• Years 5 & 6 should be able to complete up to number 23.
• Years 5 & 6 AA should be able to attempt all the questions.
PLENARY
Go through the answers with the children and clear up any misconceptions.
