A step by step guide to playing the classic game. Inspired by Steph McGill’s Make your own Battleships this PPT can be used alone or to accompany Steph’s original 2003 resource (see below).
A practical investigation that can be enjoyed in mixed level classes. There's something for all learners from Entry Level 1 to Level 2.
Editor's note. One of my favourite resources that somehow got lost when the site was redeveloped in 2011. Now fully updated to reflect the new 2018 Functional Skills content that come into effect September 2019. Pages 7-8 show detailed FS mapping to content descriptors and problem solving skills.
