Links included to dedicated website with random generators and ideas for extending the game further.</strong></p> <p>The Lobster Pot Game is a well-known maths game, suitable for UKS2 and KS3. It is helpful for reinforcing probability, times tables and decision theory - while also being a lot of fun. It is highly requested by my maths groups and is a staple of the end of term.<br /> Each day, players distribute their lobster pots either ‘offshore’ (more risk, more reward) or ‘inshore’ (less risk, less reward). Using the money earned, they can purchase further pots and so increase their profits on later days. The aim is to have enough money at the end of each week to pay a steadily-increasing rent.</p> <p>This contains everything you need to play the game with your class, including dedicated worksheets and full instructions for running the game. Simply print and play!</p> <p>**If your class enjoyed this kind of game, have a look at these too:<br /> <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-13068208">The Energy Game</a> - No-prep lesson about energy generation - dice game with full lesson plan including reflection activities. Recommended for science (energy), geography (land use) and general end of term fun!</p>

<p>Arithmetic Master is a game I use with Year 6 in the last few weeks before the SATs.<br /> You know how it feels - when you’ve done past paper after past paper and you still need to work on retrieval but you need some ENERGY!<br /> This is a quiz which involves partner work, peer support, team names and unlimited points and my children LOVE it.</p> <p>Covering all of the Arithmetic question areas from Paper 1 in a quiz format.<br /> • Children work in pairs for this quiz.<br /> • For each section (PPT slide) each child will be given 2 to 3 minutes (your discretion) to answer the questions independently on their own piece of paper.<br /> • The next 2 minutes will be sharing and discussing answers with their partner.<br /> • Before sharing, they will need to decide upon a final answer as a team.<br /> • This is great for peer work, talking through HOW they came to their answer.<br /> • Points are decided by the teacher: correct answers; superb explanations; good behaviour; staying focused.<br /> • I also deduct points to maintain behaviour management: shouting out, arguing etc. I find that the children learn very quickly that it’s all a bit of fun in the midst of all their revision and behave well beyond the first couple of deductions!<br /> • Having ultimate power over the points also ensures that you can award points to children with low self esteem who need the boost.</p> <p>There are over 20 colourful question slides, each containing at least 6 Arithmetic questions. This quiz can easily be broken down into sections, over several sessions .</p> <p>I show this as a PPT presentation and everyone looks at the main smartboard but I have also included a PDF in case you need to print out or Air Drop questions.<br /> Another PPT and PDF contains the answers which I use as a class so I can see what everyone is getting out of it, what my areas of need are, giving out points and also to keep up the energy.<br /> However, this could also be used for self marking.</p> <p>I really hope you and your class enjoy this resource as much as we do!</p>

<p>There are various classroom maths activities, including maths games, which are purely recreational – and no doubt they have their place. But there are maths games which demand a real involvement on the part of the players and which call for both reasoning and imagination(surely two key features of any worthwhile mathematical activity). Some of these are games for two players, where the aim is to win and where competitive excitement can run high; others are solo games, where the aim is to achieve a particular objective and where the satisfaction is a more private one. We have tried numerous games in the classroom, with pupils of different ages and abilities, and have selected eight of our favourites for the collection offered here.</p> <p>The booklet provides clear instructions for each game, together with the appropriate grid for you to photocopy and laminate. None of the games requires complicated materials and all of them are easy to explain and to put into practice.</p>

A simple, printable game designed to reinforce complements to 10 facts

<p>A fun calendar skills maths activity for lower Key Stage 2 (KS2) (originally designed for Year 3 and 4 - Y3 and Y4) <em>- or Primary 4 and 5 in Scotland-</em>, to provide practice, during the Time focus in maths, of reading or using a calendar. It consolidates understanding of months and gives practice of calculating days and weeks after / before etc, developing students’ general understanding of how calendars work. It could be used with lower ability students in Year 5 and 6 too. Students will practise terminology such as ‘fortnight’, ‘day before yesterday’, ‘a week on Tuesday’ etc and be encouraged to count on and back in sevens for full weeks. If they are to move forwards or back 8/15/20 days etc, they can learn to move to the nearest exact week then move back or forwards a day as appropriate, rather than counting days one at a time. **UK date formats used. **</p> <p>Please check the preview to assess suitability. The resources are in <strong>PDF</strong> within a Zip file. The Question Cards are also included in a Word document to be easily editable so that you can amend them if required, perhaps adding in details relevant to the school / country in which you are teaching.</p> <p>The game board is in 3 sections and is comprised of 3 months of the calendar (May, June and July). Children use the instructions printed on the cards and boards to navigate forwards and backwards in time, until someone reaches the end of July! A rule card is included for the children to refer to. This could be used with groups across the whole class or perhaps just for a group that needs lots of consolidation of calendar work, to add some variety to their learning programme. The boards were designed in A3 and they work really well at this size if being used with a larger group. If you can only print in A4, you might want to scale it up on the copier after printing. However, A4 works fine too. <strong>You might need to use the ‘shrink to fit’ setting on your printer if printing in A4.</strong></p> <p>I hope your students find this an engaging activity. If you can spare a moment I would be so grateful for a review. Many thanks.</p> <p>You might be interested in some of my other Maths / Numeracy games and activities:</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/line-symmetry-board-game-and-cards-11535144">Line Symmetry Board Game and Cards</a></strong><br /> <strong><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/change-from-pounds-1-four-in-a-row-game-11558618">Change from £1 Four in a Row Games</a></strong><br /> <strong><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/basic-addition-and-subtraction-activities-bundle-12279022">Basic Addition and Subtraction Activities BUNDLE</a></strong></p> <p>For engaging, time-saving printables and presentations to help plan Primary Literacy, Maths and French lessons, visit <strong><a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/FullShelf">FullShelf Resources</a></strong></p>

<p>Addition Game<br /> Subtraction Game</p>

There are 8 pages of spinners and 2 pages of arrows. You can print one large spinner per page or 3 small spinners per page.<br /> <br /> These spinners are great for a variety of Maths Games and Maths Centres. I use the smaller spinners for students to cut out and place in their Math notebooks for early finishers.<br /> <br /> To fasten the arrow to the spinner, use a brad or a paper clip.

<p>YEAR 2 MATH: FRACTIONS | GAMES &amp; ACTIVITIES | OUTDOOR TEACHING &amp; LEARNING</p> <p>A low-prep outdoor teaching and learning fraction game where students create fractions using natural materials while racing to be first finished.

PDFs, hands on activities, links to the Australian Curriculum, colour and B&amp;W.</p>

Great for Centers!!<br /> *8 pages of spinners<br /> -4 spinners with the time in words and matching answer keys<br /> -4 spinners with the time in numbers and matching answer keys<br /> *1 cut-out clock<br /> <br /> Click the preview to have a look!<br /> <br /> These spinners are great for Centres. One student, who I call the Score Keeper, is the spinner, answer checker, and score keeper. The Score Keeper spins the spinner and reads the time. Students in the group put the time on their clocks, and the Score Keeper uses the answer key to check. I have a class set of Judy Clocks that my kids LOVE to use, but I’ve included a paper clock you could use in this resource.
