I was working with my numeracy group and I gave them number cards to pick from a pile. Their objective was to be able to add two numbers. I told them I was going to write a rule on the board. Before I had chance to explain about the rule one little chap shouted out very seriously.
'Are you going to write NO SMOKING?'
What I actually meant by a rule was +5. So that every number card they picked they would have to add 5 to it. It is amazing how children think and how you must think carefully about what you say so that it doesn't get misinterpretted.
