Maths Games are Fun!

Maths is how we can explain the world around us: How far? When? How much? We have started Term 4 by using different Maths games to help us to practise Number Knowledge. Things like how many ways we can make 10 or how many 10s in 35. There are lots of device apps that can help us to practise but sharing the adventure with others also helps to build Positive Relationships skills. Playing games with others helps us to build resilience and Prudence by developing strategic thinking and learning how to win and lose respectfully.

There are many wonderful games that help Maths learning like dominoes, Snakes and Ladders, Checkers, Monopoly, card games and chess. Some are hundreds of years old! (A game similar to dominoes was found in Tutankhamen's tomb in Egypt!)

Games like Go Fish are a wonderful way to practise early Maths number recognition.  Here is a link to some fun Maths card games you can play at home.

Have a look at some photos of us combining learning, challenge and fun!
