Step 2-3: Consolidation of Steps 2-3 Year 5 Multiplication and Division Learning Video Clip
Join Alexios, Selene and Orion as they hide inside the Trojan Horse in attempt to rescue the Queen. Children will help the Trojan warriors to work out if they can pull the Trojan Horse across the drawbridge. They will help the king to consider how much food he could buy to feed his soldiers at his celebration banquet. They will then help Alexios, Selene and Orion to work out how many stairs they will climb along with their army, and then to crack the code they need to enter the tower and rescue the queen.
This Learning Video Clip has been designed as a consolidation tool for steps 2 and 3. It contains content relevant to all these steps and can be used in parts to recap a particular step or in on its own at the end of a teaching sequence for the included steps.
