This is a very useful maths games based on ‘number properties’. It’s an ideal activity because it puts the learning in the hands of the children and encourages good language (speaking and listening) skills and cooperative ‘play’. The download includes a set of ‘clue cards’ and a set of 1 to 25. Children work in pairs to use the clue cards to help them identify a single number from within the 1-25 set. Great for logical thinking.

This fun game uses ‘Top Trumps’ style cards to enable children to practice addition and multiplication strategies while reinforcing correct mathematical vocabulary. There are 36 cards; each featuring an image of a mathstick figure and two mathematical statements. The first statement on each card is an addition and the other a multiplication. While playing a Top Trumps type game, the children challenge each other as to whose card displays the higher value - product or sum! However, the educational value does not end there… The statements offer four different mathematical elements (or categories), as well as the product or the sum, players can also use individual factors or addends. This game is ideal for Key Stage 2 children who have a reasonable understanding of multiplication facts and addition strategies. The download features my teacher notes and a set of 36 printable cards.
