Head down to the farm where there’s always a job to do! In this interactive game, students complete a variety of farm tasks by solving three-digit addition and subtraction problems. From planting seeds to harvesting fruit, mending fences to fixing tractors, every correct answer helps get the job done.

This version focuses on mental and written strategies for solving three-digit equations. Students will use partitioning, rearranging, and regrouping to tackle each task and progress through the game. Some jobs require just one step, while others are broken into multiple parts—making the journey both engaging and rewarding.

Once all the questions have been answered, students receive a fun summary sheet showing everything they accomplished on the farm that day. With plenty of visual motivation and replay value, they’ll want to keep coming back to complete every challenge!

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Solve three-digit addition and subtraction problems
• ✅ Apply strategies such as partitioning, regrouping, and rearranging
• ✅ Strengthen place value understanding and number fluency
• ✅ Develop persistence through multi-step problem solving
• ✅ Engage in practical maths through interactive gameplay

How to Play:

1. Students are given a range of three-digit addition and subtraction questions.
2. Each correct answer completes or progresses a farm task.
3. Some tasks involve multiple steps—for example, plant the seeds, grow the crop, then harvest it.
4. The game continues until all questions have been answered.
5. At the end, students receive a wrap-up sheet showing all completed farm jobs.

Ideas for Classroom Use:

• 💡 Use during maths units on addition, subtraction, or problem-solving
• 💡 Great for Year 2-3 students consolidating mental and written strategies
• 💡 Include as a rotation to provide targeted practise with visual engagement
• 💡 Extend learning with journals explaining how tasks were solved

Top Teacher Tips:

• 💛 Let students personalise their experience by choosing from six characters before the game begins
• 💛 Select the number of players or teams at the start of the game to suit individual, paired, or group play
• 💛 Send the QR code home for students to play as a homework or revision task
