This edition is, hopefully, building up your resources of ideas to keep the pupil interested in the subject.<\/p><p>Initially, I was an advocate for holiday work until I realised the pupils were returning to school begrudging me and losing interest in what they were doing in maths lessons. They missed out on a great deal of \u201clife education\u201d because of the many hours working at the kitchen table.<\/p><h4><\/h4><h4>Here\u2019s why holiday work assignments are not worth it<\/h4><p><br\/><\/p><p>This article from <a href=\"https:\/\/study.com\/blog\/here-s-why-holiday-homework-assignments-are-not-worth-it.html\" target=\"_blank\">Study.com<\/a> puts the following argument forward:<\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p>\u201cHomework has always been a controversial topic, but when it\u2019s assigned over the holidays, it can spark even more debate. Let\u2019s take a look at why holiday homework assignments are just not worth it.<\/p><p>While homework may have its benefits in certain situations, in others, it\u2019s simply not necessary. One of these & others; is during holiday breaks from school\u2014a time for students to take a break from their studies, spend time with family, and enjoy the true meaning of a holiday. Some teachers might think that holiday homework assignments are a good idea and a way to keep kids&#39; brains sharp over a break, but in reality, kids typically get more than enough homework during the rest of the school year.<\/p><ul><li><p>Spending time with family is important<\/p><\/li><li><p>Kids learn every day<\/p><\/li><li><p>Many families travel during the holidays<\/p><\/li><li><p>Students need a break<\/p><\/li><li><p>Many parents do not agree with it\u201d<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>My stance now is to introduce games, conundrums and other activities which has a<\/p><p>mathematical content.

Copy the simple diagram on a sheet of paper or cardboard and use sixteen counters, numbered and placed as shown. The puzzle is to remove all but one counter by a succession of leaps.<\/p><p class=\"last-child\">A counter can leap over another adjoining it to the next square beyond, if vacant, and in making the leap you remove the one jumped over. But no leap can be made in a diagonal direction.<\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-block-id=\"1971\" width=\"340\" height=\"auto\" style=\"width:340px;height:auto;max-width:340px !important;display:block\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/1e4c696c230483f91e7da02d5\/images\/bcc5a5ee-25ba-96f3-8c5c-6e123b5cab5b.png\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"imageDropZone mceImage\"\/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div data-block-id=\"1976\" class=\"mceText\" id=\"dataBlockId-1976\" style=\"width:100%\"><p>The following is a solution in eight moves: 5-13, (6-14,6-5),16-15, (3-11, 3-6),2-10,(8-7,8-16,8-3), (1-9, 1-2, 1-8), (4-12,4-1). This means that 5 leaps over 13 and 13 is removed, 6 then leaps over 14 and 14 are removed, and so on.
