Lobster Pots Brain Breaks is a great activity to assist your students in applying their knowledge of probability and money in a fun and engaging way.

In this activity, students are given $50 and 6 pots and must decide whether to place them inshore or offshore. Next, the weather will be decided using the spinner, impacting the earnings and losses the students experience. Students must calculate their earnings and losses before continuing play, aiming to purchase more pots to make more money.

This activity comes with a digital part with instructions, a spinner, and a class game board for modelling the game. Student activity sheets are provided, and it is recommended that these be placed in a write-and-wipe sleeve for repeated use.

This can be implemented as a small group practice, a warm-up to mathematics lessons, skill revision or a conclusion activity to a lesson.
