numeracy week - what to dress my son in

sylvia9121 · 25 September 2007 at 8:35PM

Hello
My sons school is having a numeracy week and on Thursday he has to dress in something numerical????????/

I havent got a clue as to what to dress him in, he has said that a football top with a number on the back will do (not that he has one lol)
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Sylvia

A domino's pizza box? The dots on a domino represents numbers.

A torch in either hand and he can count up to three in binary.

Or nothing in either hand and also wear sandals with no socks so he can count to twenty.

An empty chinese carton or a menu...for takeaway:D

That's a tough one...sorry they're such cheesy suggestions.:o

ermm... what a strange thing for the school to ask you to do! lol

how old is he? there's a tv show called numberjacks, and perhaps you could get a t shitr with them on is he's only in the first year at school......

otherwise, i'd get an old top, and some bits of fabric, and cut out a load of numbers and mathamatical signs and tack them on.... although if all the other kids are just going to be wearing footy shirts then he may feel a bit daft...

hmm- y' know what? i have no idea! lol :rotfl::o

Top hat and tails: dressed up to the 9s

Have you a charity shop to hand, or perhaps one of his friends may have a football shirt. A baseball cap maybe with a number on it, or maybe a football team bib.

Thought hunting down word war II clothing for my son was hard enough but think i got of lightly :rolleyes:

He has just gone in to year 1 (5) but I think the whole school has to dress up!
I suppose I could put some old lottery tickets on a top lol..god knows I have enough of them (obviously not the winning ones lol)

I will have another think and see if i can come up with any more ideas thanks for the ones so far though

Gosh, that's a new one on me!

Perhaps a white teeshirt and sew on some black felt circles to make a dice? One number on the front and one on the back?

Or dominos as said but maybe two pieces of cardboard painted black and with white dots. They could be held with some string over his shoulders.

Please come back and let us know what you decided on and what all the other children wore - I'm very intreagued.

Mind with ambiguous instructions like that, I'd have thought the teachers are being bombarded with requests for more detail!

Thank goodness I don't have to do that! What about some bits on cardboard back and front, sandwich board style with a playing card on each?

I agree- it's a tough one!

:mad:

Send him in wearing something highly derivative.

Dress him up as a calculator! stick/draw the numbers and '+', '-', 'x' etc... onto a plain tshirt, then make a screen out of cardboard and stick it to his head or on the front of a hat.
