Moons and Craters Maths Starter – A Fun Dice Game for Primary Students! Turn maths into a fun and creative game with Moons and Craters! This simple dice game helps students practice multiplication, repeated addition, and mental maths while keeping them engaged. Instructions: Roll and Draw: One player starts by rolling the die twice. The first roll determines how many moons they will draw, and the second roll determines how many craters to draw for each moon. For example, if a player rolls a 4, they will draw 4 moons, and if they roll a 3 on the next roll, they will draw 3 craters in each moon. Write the Number Sentence: After drawing, the player writes a multiplication sentence to represent the model. For example, if the rolls were 4 and 3, the player writes 4 x 3 = 12. Alternatively, they can write a repeated addition sentence like 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. Scoring: The total from the multiplication or addition sentence is the score for that round (e.g., 12 for this example). Take Turns: Players take turns rolling the dice, drawing moons and craters, and writing number sentences. Keep a running total of scores for each round. Winning: After a predetermined number of rounds, the player with the highest (or lowest, depending on the rules) total score wins the game. This game is a great way to reinforce multiplication and repeated addition, while also encouraging creativity through drawing and friendly competition!

Sim Maths Starter – A Fun Geometry Game for Primary Students! Kickstart your maths lesson with this exciting and interactive game of Sim, where strategy and geometry come together.

These lines can be straight or curved, but they must not intersect any existing lines on the paper. Objective: The goal is to avoid forming a triangle with three of your lines. The Challenge: The game continues as each player carefully connects points, trying not to be the one to complete a triangle with their own lines. How to Win: The first player to accidentally form a triangle with three of their lines loses the game. The other player is declared the winner. This game encourages students to think ahead, use strategic planning, and apply basic geometry skills, making it both a fun and educational maths starter for primary learners.
