MathsClass

This week, my Year 8s have been looking at inequality signs, graphing inequalities and solving simple (one-step) inequalities. Today, after solving inequalities, we played a simple game. A simple, obvious game, that really doesn’t warrant a blog post.

I’ve been meaning to try ClassTools.net for a while. With ClassTools.net you can make interactive Flash games, from a range of templates, then save and share them.

I wanted to play a multiplication bingo type game with a class the other day, so I grabbed two 10 sided dice (apparently you don’t need to call a single dice a “die” anymore) out of the cupboard. Then I thought… hey I have a projector and a laptop.

The last week of term begins next week…

Building an Angle Wheel is a great way to consolidate an introduction to angles for Year 7.

Another game, this time for the most basic “technology” in the maths classroom - the calculator.

I’m trying to build up a collection of maths games for lesson fillers, reward and skills practise.
