Racing to English

Add and take away words track

TEACHERS NOTES

USE This track is particularly designed for use with pupils/students learning English as an additional language but it is useful for a wide range of other pupils/students. CONTENTS Add and take away track - this track practises both addition and subtraction but pupils/students have to read the words `add' and `take away' rather than use the +/- symbols A blank track - for you to develop your own tracks PREPARATION Photocopy the track, enlarging it to A3 if possible - if this is not possible, print out an A4 copy for each learner. Language learning objectives: Language functions Adding and subtracting Sentence structure What is 7 take away 3? Vocabulary add, take away

RULES The first player throws a dice, moves her/his counter and then asks the next player the sum s/he has landed on (using the number on the dice to finish the sum). If the next player can answer the sum they can throw the dice. So, if a player throws a 3 and lands on 7 take away they must say "What is 7 take away 3?" The next player must say 4 before they can throw the dice.
