Hi Sinead,

I like your rocket cubes idea. Another approach to this might be to get children to make rockets using cubes as number sentences. For example you could have various different number sentences on a sheet 3 + 2 = , 5+6= etc. Children have to use 2 different colour cubes to represent each subset and pile them on top of each other to make a rocket and figure out the total.  3 + 2 = 5 might look like 3 red cubes and 2 blue cubes on top to make a total of 5.
