Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. Welcome to Mr Schmidt's Math Trail. This activity is designed to give you a taste of the numeracy topics covered in Year 2 for 2017, all whilst going on a treasure hunt! Have fun working together to solve the problems (and try not to get lost too)! Your first question begins now: What is the room number of Mr Schmidt's classroom? If I had this number of chocolates to share between 2 outstanding students, how many will be shared amongst each student? When you have solved this problem, head to where we can see all of the Willy North teachers getting into the Christmas spirit with their Santa hats!26 and 13
2. Ahoy there matey! Welcome to Willy North's own treasure map! Using the coordinates that Mr Schmidt will place along side your map, you need to decide which teacher has pinched the golden treasure. You can find this villain using the coordinate F3. Can you also find the coordinate of your Grade 1 teacher? Once completed, steer your ship to the part of the school that shows a black and white pattern.answers will vary. Model with students.
3. Welcome to the chess grid, where you need to use your mind to succeed. Your challenge is to estimate how many of Mr Schmidt's feet (when they are together from heel to toe) will form the perimeter of the chess board. If you estimate correctly, you may win a prize from Mr Schmidt! Once completed make your way to the part of the school that turns you into jumping kangaroos!model answer to students.
4. Here we are at the prep playground. My question for you is can you name me something that is likely and unlikely to happen in this playground? Can you also name me something that is certain to happen and something that is impossible to happen when out in the playground. Once completed, head back to Mr Schmidt's classroom. Depending on the 'TIME', there may be 'TIME' for one last question!answers will vary
5. Hooray! You made it back safe and sound. For your final question, can you tell me what time my analogue clock reads? What will the new time read in an hours time? Once you have solved this problem, you can relax because you have survived Mr Schmidt's Math Trail!3:15 and 4:15
