I have an interview and am required to teach a 30 min maths lesson to KS2. I was thinking of maybe using loom bands to investigate the fibonnacci sequence? Or is that too crazy? Either way i'd like to go with loom bands. Anyone done any great maths with them of that? Ideas! It's very late notice, the interview is on Weds!
Thanks in advance.

I have settled on.using knowledge of shape properties and done a quick ten min what is my shape quiz to establish what they know ( with egyptian theme) , focusing on side lengths and symmetry. Then i'm pretending i'm and archaeologist who has flown over undiscovered pyramids and mapped them. But there has been a sandstorm and some buildings are partially covered. The tasks are to draw in the squares and rectangles of the buildings using what they know about shape. So it's differentiated by clues and maps. La is allsquares. Ma is quadrilaterals and ha is quads joined together. Lots of extension on each sheet, a box to explain how they knew what was under the sand. Perimeter and area if needed. Plenary is drawing extra pyramids onto the map according to secret plan directions. All on one sheet with extra map and extension slip. They should show application of knowledge if norhing else and it might be fun!
