Engage your students in practicing factors, multiples, prime, and composite numbers with this fun card game with engaging characters and bright colors Do your students need support with consolidation and practising their multiplication and factorisation skills? This fun and engaging game is perfect for math centres and as a fast finishing game for your class. This version features some crazy gremlins and creatures which are appealing to a range of age groups. SETTING UP THE CARDS 1.Duplicate the background slide, and print your number cards back to back with the striped background. This is the set of factor cards. 2.Create the Target cards, by printing the targets back to back as you did with the number cards. 3.Laminate the cards for durability- You may choose to print off and laminate the playing mats. HOW TO PLAY For 2-4 players 1.Shuffle the 7 factor cards (numbers 1-12), and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the rest of the deck face down on the table. 2.Shuffle the target cards and turn over the top card revealing the target number. 3.Let’s say the target card is 36, the player to the left of the dealer will look at the cards in their hand and see if any of them are a factor of 36. 4.If that player has a factor they will place it next to the target card, for instance, if it the player has a 4, they will say 9x4=36, and then the play will go to the next person to the left and continue until a player does not have a card that is a factor of the target number. That person then has to pick up ALL of the cards that have already been played. 5.The next player will turn over the next target card from the top of the pile, and play will continue. 6.The winner is the person who manages to get rid of all of the cards in their hand first. 7.Each player MUST say the multiplication face when playing their card.

What is a thinkboard? It is a graphic organiser or tool to assist students to make connections across/ within and between different representations of knowledge. The more connections that are made: •the better the understanding of the mathematics •the more likely it will be that the mathematical knowledge is retained •and easier it should be to apply the mathematics The focus of the think board is on finding the connections between the different ways of representing a problem. How to use them •Arrange students into groups of four, placed around the Think Board’s four sections. Provide the students with one of the sections as a starting point and give them time to discuss the idea with their neighbours before deciding on what to record. •You can also work on a Think Board as a whole class or individually. Assessment •Think Boards promote discussion – look for mathematical language used. •Assess individual student’s understanding of a mathematical idea – look at all sections of the •Think Board individually to find strengths and weaknesses This resource contains both PPT and PDF versions in a ZIP file so please ensure that you have the software to open them You will recieve a set of 5 different Thinkboards for each number and an editable version so that you can create your own.

Set of colored and black and white game boards for your classroom kit. Each board game incorporates a spinner which can be used with a paper clip and a thumb tack with numbers 1-6 (If you don’t have dice handy) This has been incredibly popular with my younger students, who have created some fun games using these blank boards. I have used them with mini rubbers as playing pieces and the game rules that even the younger students came up with, were really amazing. I have extended this activity by using it as a literacy task where students have been asked to write a procedural text ie. how to play the game. What you need? How many players? How do you start? What are the rules? How is the winner determined? An affordable and versatile resource for any classroom.

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool. Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool and they can be used to support orientation, which is particularly useful when children and families are not able to be on-site.  Teaching children how to ask a question only once is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed. As educators we always will say things like, “wait’ or “You asked that just a moment ago.”, however we need to explicitly teach these skills. This story can be used to help children to develop skills so that they can learn to function and integrate with other children in the classroom and other social settings.
