Articulate the Shape - Maths Vocab Reasoning Game
Perfect for a ‘mastery’ teaching approach. This game aims is to boost students’ mathematical reasoning skills by enabling them to learn and use mathematical vocabulary in a fun way.
Articulate the shape is a board game for up to 4 players.
The winner is the player with the greatest number of points acquired after a pre-determined number of laps around the game board.
The players take it in turn to roll the dice and move the required number of places.
Each square indicates an ‘Articulate the Shape’ category: 2D Shapes; 3D Shapes; Mathematical vocabulary and Wildcard.
Having selected a category the player must describe the mystery item so that their team mates can guess what it is.
You must not say the mystery word itself!
Points are awarded for the number of mathematical shapes or vocabulary correctly identified in 30 seconds.
Differentiation:
Challenge level may be set by the teacher by including ability appropriate cards only and omitting those deemed to be too advanced.
Lower ability or younger students - print several copies of ability appropriate shapes and mathematical vocabulary or modify the PowerPoint template to add some cards some of your own!

Container Clashes Percentage Change Board Game
Game Play:
Players compete against one another to amass the most wealth over a predetermined number of laps around the board.
Each player is assigned a trailer at random containing cash and merchandise in varying proportions. All trailers have the same initial asset value.
As the players travel around the board they are forced to sell one item from their container each time they land on ‘Sell’. Each ‘Sell’ has a designated profit or loss that must be calculated in order to determine the sale price of the sold item.
Each time a player lands on ‘Container’ all players can bid for a trailer item up to the value of the cash that they have available.
keep the container items face down so that the players don’t know
what they are bidding for!
There are some good, and
some bad so don’t get carried away
and bid too much!
There are 3 choices of game board:
RED 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50% Profit or Loss

GREEN 2.5, 5, 7, 8, 9, 17, 28, 35, 64 and 97% Profit or Loss
The winner has the highest total asset value at the end.
