Lesson Planning
Make and play a cricket dice game to explore how maths is used in cricket to either present information using an appropriate graphical method or in working out batting and bowling averages to rank players and teams.
Teaching Outcomes:
- To play Howzat, a dice game based on cricket.
- To make a 3D shape from a net, work out averages (Y6 only) and make a bar chart.
Children will:
- Make a 3D shape from a 2D net.
- Contribute to a bar chart.
Older children will:
- Work out the mean as an average.
- Interpret the results on a bar chart.
