It didn't matter which equipment we used, we all used the same process.
Next we rotated through activities where we worked with '40'.
One of the activities was the 'Make and Take' game. For the first part of the game we rolled a dice and added paddlepop sticks to the ONES house on our chart. When we could make a ten, we bundled them up and put them in the TENS house. The first one to 40 was the winner.
For the second part, when we rolled the dice, we had to 'unbundle' the groups of TEN. The first one back to ZERO was the winner.
Other activities had us being CREATIVE with 40.
We could use the coloured matchsticks to make a picture, or the wooden shapes to create a design or construct something out of Lego.... but we could only use 40 pieces!
Here are some pictures of some of our creations.

Hi Mrs M
I like zero the hero activities today and next zero the hero day I would like to do some more. I especially liked the Take game.

I'm glad you emjoyed playing the 'Take' game, Tamekah. It's a game you can play any day, not just on 'Zero the Hero' days. I've already included it in tomorrow's numeracy block. You'll be able to teach Mrs DeL how to play it.
Well done Grace! You know 4 groups of 5 makes 20. Can you use this knowledge to work out how many groups of 5 make 40?
it is always fun
hi mrs m i loved the take game you have to have 4 bundles of 10 but it was to easy love claire.*
Hello 2m,
There were some really great models built. I can't believe you could make those using only 40 pieces.
From Ben D's mum.
COOL stuf!
