Shape and Number Properties - Reasoning and Questioning Game - Guess What!

(0)
Remember the classic children's game Guess Who? Well this is Guess What! Designed to support and encourage childrens' mathematical reasoning and verbal questioning through playing a game. There are two versions - the shape game and the numbers game. The teacher chooses a shape or number and secretly writes this down on a piece of paper which is hidden from the children. Children then have to ask mathematical questions to eliminate shapes / numbers to ultimately guess the teacher's shape / number. Only questions with "yes" or "no" answers can be asked. E.g. Is your shape 3D? Does you shape have any curved edges? Does your shape have any equal sides? etc. Suitable for aged 9-14 children. Children can play whole class versus the teacher or in pairs in their book (to do this they just need to draw a 6 by 4 square grid in their books to correspond with the game board projected on the whiteboard! Lots of fun for children to enjoy their maths learning.
