Game Set
and Match — Maths!
Have fun learning
and practising primary school mathematics with a collection of new games
and user-friendly adaptations of older games. Cards, dice, dominoes
and board games! Logic games and simulations. Old games from the Vikings,
Ancient Egypt, Africa, Asia and Medieval Europe. New games with cards,
dice, blocks and counters. Games that really use reasoning across all
levels of primary schooling. Blackline masters for easy copying. The
games require only simple equipment — cheap and readily available, such
as a pack of cards, a six-sided dice, pencil and paper, simple blocks
and easy make-it-yourself playing pieces — ideal for hassle-free classroom
use, and fun at home. A scope-and-sequence chart indicates the match
between mathematics topic and level of playing and learning difficulty.
Motivate your students, enrich your curriculum, and put skills into
practice — learning mathematics can be child's play.
