Bea Bumble has discovered that some of the wind turbines and solar panels are not working in Questland. Can you help her work out how many she needs to repair?

Help her by drawing an X on half the wind turbines and drawing a circle around one quarter of the solar panels to indicate that these are working so they do not need to be repaired. Then count the wind turbines and solar panels that are left so that she knows how many are not working and need to be repaired. Includes an answer sheet.

Time required to teach: 15 - 20 minutes. We suggest this supports a Maths lesson on fractions.

Additional material required: None but you can find more free resources at www.questfriendz.com

When Leo’s mum challenges Leo, Lilli and Bea to figure out how to power a model airplane using a special biofuel that can be made from an ingredient in their very own garden, the friends start investigating and return to Questland in search of a solution. Upon arrival, they discover that the evil Lord Grumble is up to his dastardly tricks, stealing energy throughout Questland from the sun, wind, water, animals and crops, and sending it back to his secret hideout on Black Rock Island. Adventure and excitement await as the friends work together to crack this latest case. Can you help them defeat evil Lord Grumble and return the stolen energy to Questland?

Children develop over 12 STEM skills including problem solving, coding, sequencing, debugging and algorithms as they complete each interactive quest…and discover their inner superhero along the way.
