Maths Problem Hunt

Preparation : Having a set of questions on cards around the school with a maths problems/tasks.  Ideally the problem needs to relate to the area of the school that the problem is placed.  For example, photograph all the objects in the playground that have a triangle.

Split the learners into teams of four.  
Create a shared folder on Google Drive that will contain all the photos and videos.  
Two learners stay in the classroom.  
Two learners go out to find a problem with a mobile device connected to Google Drive.  
The learners in the classroom use Google chat to guide the learners walking around the school, as they know where the problems are.  
The learners have to use the camera to either photograph or video the solution to Maths problem or task. 
The learners in the classroom then create a Google presentation within the shared Google folder, using the photos and videos to summarise the learning.

The teaching can use Teacher Dashboard and Google Chat to guide the learners as they complete the task, feeding back live as the learners complete the task by commenting on the photos, videos and presentations.
