Gifted and talented enrichment activity: All in a daze work

Written by Julian Whybra

The aim of this lesson-length enrichment activity is to encourage inquiry, critical and creative thinking, and knowledge-building in your gifted and talented students. The activity follows this structure:

  • description
  • tasks to carry out
  • going further.

At first glance, this activity looks like a mathematics puzzle or brain teaser. It starts off by outlining, step-by-step, a method of discovering the day of the week of any date in the past, and encourages pupils to participate by completing key tasks.

This enrichment activity is an extract from Enrichment Activities for Gifted and Talented Children.
