Over the summer holidays, I have been working on putting resource packs together to aid planning. My first pack is now available: 10 Fun Maths Games to Use in the Classroom.
Learning to play a game is an important social skill for children to gain. It can also give a good opportunity to develop fluency in their mathematics. These games will practise bonds to 5, 10 and 20 as well as giving the opportunity to rehearse subtraction, multiplication and division skills.
Each game could be enlarged onto an A3 paper and laminated to give a longer shelf life. Additional equipment may be needed such as dice, counters and whiteboard pens. For some children you may want to provide additional manipulatives such as dienes or Numicon.
The games are aimed at children in years 1 – 4 and to sharpen skills in Upper Key Stage 2. They are suitable for pairs or small groups under the guidance of an additional adult. They can also be used at home with parents and carers to develop family numeracy.
