This is a maths game on a Smartboard slide adaptable for Yrs 3-6. It is quick to play and teach, but could equally be the basis for a full lesson. The twist is that you get to be ‘nasty’ to your opponent so that they lose and you win. It can be played as a whole class, with a group or as a pair. It develops understanding of place value, greater than and less than. It can be adapted to allow access to less confident mathematicians and also to challenge the more able.

30 Smart slides, each containing 5 fluency and retrieval questions. Put on the whiteboard as the children arrive. Do the register and morning admin and they write answers in a maths jotter or on a whiteboard. Then spend 5 minutes sharing strategies and answers. Children self mark. In each set of 5 there are a couple of easier questions and at least one challenging one. May also be suitable for year 4 or 6 as it is editable.
