Four in a Row is a game for your whiteboard. Nothing needs to be printed or prepared to play this game. The game-play is somewhere between noughts and crosses and blockbusters. Two teams alternate, competing to correctly answer questions on the grid. The board is interactive - clicking tiles changes the colours and also reveals answers. Four in a Row games on five maths topics are available individually from my shop or as a bundle at a reduced price. The level of challenge is aimed at the foundation level GCSE exam. The questions are adapted from AQA non-calculator exam papers. A pen and paper may help some students at times.

I selected 18 questions from the past papers to use with my year 13 class. All the answers are carefully presented. The difficulty is graded for every question ★★★☆☆ The formatting enabled me to use the questions on our remote learning platform. I tried to choose questions with interesting examples. So not the salad spinner one. In the 2020 lockdown I developed four interactive ebooks to help teach and test material for the Engineering unit. These are strongly recommended.

Conway’s Game of Life is a cellular automaton, a zero player game in which the progress and future states are determined only by the start configuration. The presentation contains an animated description of the game’s rules, animated gifs and weblinks. The topic is beyond the school syllabus - perhaps to stretch students in Maths/ Sciences/ Programming/ Philosophy. I hope someone finds this handy - I couldn’t find an introductory presentation on this topic elsewhere. Thanks.
