Math 2.

0 Activity Task Breakdown

For the Principal-

1) On 8/07/2023, Math 2.0 Day will be celebrated with a Treasure Hunt.

2) Define Scavenger Hunt and Treasure Hunt. (Google the terms)

3) Use your experience to minimize student safety risks. Review/ change/ confirm the given information below.
4) Decide which grades should be
Grades Type Areas Time
PP1- Grade 3 Scavenger Hunt Inside Classroom Last 2 periods? given which areas to scavenge and hunt
Grade 4- Grade 6 Scavenger Hunt Inside + Outside + ground First 2 periods? keeping in mind the age of students and
Grade 7- Grade 9 Treasure Hunt ? Last 2 periods? SUPERVISION CAPABILITIES OF TEACHERS.
Grade 10- Grade 12 Last 2 periods The time can be same for all students as
well.
5) Now make a list of 5 things/ rules your teachers must keep in mind when designing the hunt.
For eg:
Rule 1-All students above grade 5- Student groups formed by the teacher such that boys and girls are segregated.
Rule 2- If a clue is outside the classroom, only 1 student (as chosen by the group) from each group can leave the classroom to hunt for the next clue.
Rule 3- All students must participate. Printing must be minimized, instead use blackboards, chartpapers, etc
Rule 4- No teaching time will be wasted when planning and making arrangements for the treasure hunt.
Rule 5- ………(list your rules)

6) Every Math teacher will design the hunt using the above set parameters for the respective grades they teach. SEPARATE treasure HUNT FOR EACH
GRADE, same treasure hunt for both sections of each grade. Eg: 6th Blue & Green = same treasure hunt, 6th & 7th = different hunt

7) Math teachers will submit their Lesson Plan on 06/07/2023 before school starts. During school hours, Review/ approve/ suggest changes by EOD (end of
the school day) to the teachers.

8) Math teachers will make all necessary arrangements for their respective hunt before school starts on 8th. The setup should be done during lunch or a free
period. NOT DURING TEACHING HOURS!

9) On 7th at EOD, Plan teacher supervision ALONG WITH MATH TEACHER throughout the school using FREE TEACHERS ONLY! Since all students across all
grades are participating, there should be a lot of free teachers at any given time.

10) A template is given below for teachers to follow to build their treasure hunt.

 Math 2.0 Treasure Hunt GRADE:

A scavenger hunt is a game where participants are given a list of items, clues, or riddles to find or complete in one location.

In a treasure hunt, participants are provided with a clue that leads them to another location where there’s another clue. With each clue guiding them closer to
the ultimate treasure.

Objective- Students will be able to reinforce their math skills and foster teamwork with increased motivation and interest in math.

(Similarly plan a total of 5 such math puzzles using the template. Do not stress about the theme
too much. It is only meant to inspire creative math puzzles.)
 Examples of THEMES:
1. "Time Travel Quest":

• Create a treasure hunt that takes students through different historical periods or landmarks, incorporating math problems related to time and
historical events. Math problems could involve calculating the duration of historical events, converting between different units of time, solving
time-related word problems, or deciphering clues based on historical dates.

2. "Sports Spectacular":

• Design a treasure hunt in a sports complex or field, where students encounter different sports-related stations and solve math problems related
to sports statistics and measurements. Math problems could involve calculating player statistics (e.g., batting averages, shooting percentages),
solving geometry problems related to sports fields (e.g., finding the area of a soccer field), or using probability to predict game outcomes,
calculating scores, interpreting sports statistics, solving measurement problems related to sports fields, or using probability to predict game
outcomes

3. "Money Matters":

• Design a treasure hunt that takes students through a shopping mall or financial district, incorporating math problems related to money and
personal finance. Math problems could involve calculating discounts and sales prices, converting between different currencies, budgeting and
managing money, or solving problems related to interest and investments.

4. "Pirate Adventure":
• Create a treasure hunt with a pirate theme, where students solve math problems to find hidden treasure. Math problems could involve
calculating coordinates on a treasure map, solving geometry problems related to pirate symbols, or using fractions and percentages to divide up
the treasure.

5. "Space Exploration":
• Design a treasure hunt with a space theme, where students embark on a mission to solve math problems and uncover hidden space artifacts.
Math problems could involve calculating distances between planets, solving algebraic equations related to space travel, or estimating the sizes of
celestial objects.

6. "Ancient India":
• Create a treasure hunt with an Ancient India theme, where students solve math problems related to Indian history and culture to discover hidden
artifacts. Math problems could involve calculating volumes of Nalanda library, solving word problems related to Indian rulers and their reigns, or
using geometry to recreate patterns and designs like the Taj mahal and golden ratio.
 Types of PUZZLES for TREASURE HUNT
1. Crossword Puzzles: Solve clues and fill in a crossword grid with mathematical terms, equations, or concepts.

2. Sudoku: Fill a grid with numbers, ensuring that each row, column, and box contains all digits from 1 to 9 without repetition.

3. Logic Puzzles: Use deductive reasoning to solve puzzles that involve arranging mathematical clues or information to determine a solution.

4. Cryptic Puzzles: Decode or decipher encrypted messages, codes, or puzzles using clues and hints.

5. Equation Solver: Provide participants with a set of equations that they need to solve to obtain numerical values. The digits of these values will form the
coordinates to the next clue's location.

6. Number Patterns: Present participants with a sequence of numbers and ask them to identify the pattern. Once they figure out the pattern, they can
apply it to find the missing number, which will be the clue to the next location.

7. Geometry Challenge: Pose a geometry problem where participants need to calculate angles, lengths, or areas to find the answer. The answer will lead
them to the next clue.

8. Fraction Decoder: Assign a numerical value to each letter of the alphabet (e.g., A=1, B=2, C=3), and provide participants with a coded message consisting
of fractions. They need to convert the fractions into letters to reveal the next clue.

9. Measurement Challenge: Provide participants with a measurement-related problem that they need to solve. It could involve calculating distances,
weights, volumes, or converting units. The solution will indicate the location of the next clue. FOR EG: Solution can be 5 feet and student will walk 5 feet
to find the next clue.

10. Sudoku Math: Modify a traditional Sudoku puzzle by using math-related constraints. For instance, instead of using numbers 1-9, use mathematical
symbols or operations. Participants need to solve the Sudoku grid to reveal the next clue.

11. Prime Number Hunt: Hide a series of prime numbers around the area. Participants need to identify and add these prime numbers together. The sum will
indicate the next clue's location.

12. Puzzle Hunt: Design a series of interconnected math puzzles where participants need to solve each puzzle to acquire a piece of the final clue. The solved
puzzles will provide hints or codes that combine to form the complete solution.

13. Atomic Numbers: A riddle that points at chemistry lab where a math problem is waiting for the students. The answer of this math problem can be used to
hide the next clue behind an element of the periodic table that’ll be put on the wall of chem lab by 07/07/23.

14. Coordinate Grid Puzzle: Provide participants with a grid with labeled coordinates. They need to connect the coordinates in the correct order to reveal a
hidden message or shape that leads to the next clue.
 Types of PUZZLES for SCAVANGER HUNT (for PP1- grade 3)
