Concrete materials should not be disregarded too quickly or seen as too childish for older children. Children from 4-11 (and beyond) should be given access to any available (and probably familiar) resources in choosing how they would like to model a problem.

Lighthouse


This lighthouse was built in 1828, on top of Southsea Castle. The castle was originally built by King Henry VIII in 1544.


The bottom of the lighthouse roof is 34 feet (10m 35cm) above the base (the bottom of the black stripe). The black and white painted stripes are of equal width.


National Curriculum 2014: Years 3 & 4


• Add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction


• Estimate, compare and calculate different measures


• Recall multiplication facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12


Lets start... • How long ago was the castle built? • How old was the castle when the lighthouse was added? • From the photograph, estimate the height of the central black stripe. • How high from the base is the viewing platform?


Hungry for more?


There are two small windows on the white stripes. Estimate their height from the ground. How big do you think these windows are? Would your head fit through them?


Made in the UK. MA02679-10-14 Still hungry?


When the lighthouse is repainted, it is estimated that 15 litres of paint are needed for every 1 metre in height. How many litres of each colour paint would be needed for this lighthouse?
