Negative arithmetic can be a really difficult concept to understand. One of my host teachers introduced me to this basic game which is really fun and easy to set up.
Kaboom! is great! stick each question to a lollipop stick either large or small (comes in two sizes) and that’s it you’re done! alternatively you could just keep them as slips of paper, it doesn’t matter :)
How to Play:
Each students takes it in turns to pick a stick
If they answer the question on it currently they keep the stick
Otherwise they put it back in the set
The person with the most sticks at the end wins!
…
But there’s a twist
…
If they get a stick that says ‘Kaboom!’ they lose all their sticks and they all go back in the set.
These sticks can be easily stored in an old coffee can or jar for the perfect self running maths centre.
Also if you have coloured lollipop sticks you could use them to differentiate.
Students can use this worksheet to practice converting between hex code and RGB values. This is a perfect mathematical, coding and design crossover exercise.
Have some seasonal fun by mixing maths with Love Hearts. Students are to open a packet (or make use of the illustration provided) make a note of the frequency of different colours and graph them.
This comes in a variety of different scaffolding including various amounts of labelling, just bar chart or bar and pie chat.
A logic puzzle to help students associate square numbers and roots with area as well as becoming familiar with perfect squares. Imperial and metric versions included.
Practice various rounding topics and create a cute pumpkin with this fun foldable. Recap the basics with method and examples then have a go yourself. Then cut out, stick together and decorate for as either decor or a foldable for an exercise book. Perfect for a fun activitiy for autumn / fall or halloween.
