10th May 2012 - Added 'Add and Subtract on a Number Line' in which near multiples are added and subtracted on a number line
11th March 2012 - Added 'Adding Several Numbers' in which you must find 3 or 4 numbers that will add to make a given total.
25th February 2012 - Added 'Balancing Calculations' in which you have to find the missing number in a calculation to make the scales balance. Great for exploring the role of the = sign. I have tried to include all Primary Framework mental maths objectives. I shall be adding a few more levels in the coming weeks.
2nd February 2012 - Added two resources to help teach division by chunking. 'Division by chunking down' can be used to explore division as repeated subtraction and 'Division by chunking up' as repeated addition.
15th January 2012 - Added 'Balance scales - add, move or remove a weight' a great starter activity which requires that you balance the scales by either adding a weight, moving a weight from one pan to another, or by removing a weight. Involves lots of problem solving skills and mental addition and subtraction strategies.
12th January 2012 - Added 'Different ways to pay' in which you explore different ways to make the same amount of money using draggable coins.
1st January 2012 - Added 'Difference using an unmarked number line' a game in which you find the difference between two numbers by adding numbers to a balance scale. Children must find the most efficient method (adding the fewest possible numbers). The numbers are represented on a balance scale and by jumps on an unmarked / empty number line.
29th December 2011 - Added 'Difference using a marked number line' a game in which you find the difference between two numbers by adding numbers to a balance scale. These numbers appear as jumps on a marked number line.
22nd December 2011 - Added 'Fixed number of coins' in which children have to make a set amount of money using a fixed number of coins.
20th December 2011 - Added 'Balancing Scales - g and kg' a game which can be used to teach addition, subtraction, partitioning and mass, as well as developing an understanding of the equals sign.
16th December 2011 - Added 'Fewest Coins'. Drag and drop coins to make a given amount using the fewest possible number of coins.
15th December 2011 - Added 'Balancing Scales - converting between g and kg' a game which develops an understanding of the relationship between grams and kilograms using a balancing scale.
