Description

The Guardian of the Rule activity was first introduced as part of the National Numeracy Strategy over 20 years ago. The Guardian of the Rule tells us what 2, 3 and 5 map onto in a sequence, and we have to work out the rule and say what 8 maps onto! The Guardian helpfully uses Number Shapes / Numicon Shapes to help us find the rule.
