Teaching idea

This activity supports work on number sequencing. In this activity you have to build a bridge before the bomb explodes. You can only put the planks in place if you can work out the next number in the sequence.
Only in the 'expert' mode is the pupil exposed to negative numbers. In other levels the sequencing exercise can support work at a variety of levels.

Learning outcome

This activity extends ideas on number sequences formed by counting on and back.
Children should be able to predict solutions to a number-sequencing problem.
