Here are five games which situate retrieval practice of number facts and strategies within a bigger, meaningful context. We've enjoyed playing across a broad range of ages levels and can attest to curiosity they spark through play. mathsplay.org/blog/5-playful… #Maths #Play #MTBoS

My 13 y/o had this idea (‘Max’s theorem’). For any 2 co-prime numbers m&n, if you add only multiples of m&n the max number you can’t make is always <mn. Above that you can make every other number. Does it work? Is there a pattern to the maximum number? @littmath @standupmaths

To prove this Max says take the example 3&10. Multiples of 3 in base 10 will end in every base 10 digit. From there you can add multiples of 10 to get any other number. You can generalise this to work with any two numbers, if you show it in the base of the larger number.

‘Over Under On’ is a super fun & simple game we introduced in our article on different types of whole-class math games. A great way to explore probability and introduce game theory. Check out the full article here:

I’m back teaching a problem-solving type course, this time for primary pre-service teachers. What are some of your favourite problems to help develop skills in thinking and working mathematically? I’d love to encounter some new ones.

This is a chart of the percentage of 8 and 9 year old students who are still using the count-on from larger strategy when solving addition problems. Two different student groups are being compared. Can you guess the groups? If you’re interested: researchgate.net/publication/37…

We are going to try and post more games during 2023. The first is Fishing For Tens, which is incredibly easy to play and great way to help kids develop fluency. All you need to play is a regular deck of cards. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=NVH-tP…
