Games
-
Numbers are represented
in many forms in the games e.g: rods, numberline, scale,
digits, words, abacus, 100 square and numberpad.
-
Different games address
different aspects of: ordering, grouping, conservation,
place value, exchange, symbol discrimination, problem solving,
commutativity, links between operations and maths vocabulary.
-
Games both promote
understanding and also provide rote practice in number bonds
and multiplication tables, and give visual support for maths
concepts.
-
Mental maths strategies
are well addressed at all levels.

Variable levels and
speeds for games allows easy differentiation to support

Detailed work records can be viewed or printed off.
