Your students can enjoy the fun and engaging challenge of joining the Estimate Circus with this code breaker activity.
The new passports for joining the circus are locked away in the Ringmaster’s safe. To access one, your students need to complete six circus-themed tasks. The tasks all require estimation strategies to be applied. Each answer reveals a digit in the code for the safe.
This resource includes two instructions pages that can be displayed digitally or printed, six colourful task cards on two pages of A4 that need to be printed and cut out and a student worksheet to record working out and answers. There is also an optional page of certificates that can be given to the students when they successfully crack the code.
