Do your KS3 & GCSE Foundation maths students enjoy revising maths topics? Mine didn’t either, so I created this printable board game that have them asking for more! Your students will enjoy answering questions that cover topics including percentage of a number, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, area and circumference of circles, mean mode median range, and other algebra, geometry, and statistics topics, all while keeping things light with fun jokes.
Includes solutions to save you valuable time and a template for your students to create their own question cards to deepen their understanding. This was a game-changer for my students - they loved taking ownership of their learning and creating challenging questions for their classmates! We made the cards throughout the year and then play when we have some time to fill or need a break.
Why play maths games with older students?
High school can be a tough time for students’ engagement with maths. Here’s where maths games can come in! They offer a bunch of advantages that go beyond just rote memorization:
Games make learning fun! This can be a game-changer (pun intended) for your students who find traditional maths drills boring. Engagement fuels a desire to learn and participate.
Many maths games target specific skills, like fractions, decimals, or pre-algebra. By playing repeatedly, students practice and solidify these concepts in a low-pressure environment.
Maths games often involve challenges that require strategic thinking and creative solutions. This strengthens critical thinking and problem-solving muscles that benefit students in all areas, not just maths.
Games can cater to different learning styles, allowing students to grasp concepts in a way that works best for them. This can be a big help for students who struggle with traditional methods.
Games provide a space to experiment and make mistakes without fear of penalty. This encourages students to take risks and develop a “growth mindset” about maths.
In short, maths games can turn maths from a chore into an engaging and enriching experience for your high schoolers.

Help your students to recall and apply the divisibility rules to make maths calculations more efficient.
Divisibility rules offer your students many advantages when it comes to numbers:
Faster Calculations: Instead of manually dividing a number to see if it’s divisible, your students can use divisibility rules to quickly determine it. This saves time and effort, especially for larger numbers.
Mental Maths Boost: Knowing divisibility rules helps with mental maths as your students can break down calculations involving multiples. For instance, to see if a number is divisible by both 3 and 4, they can apply the rules for each.
Stronger Number Sense: Divisibility rules build a foundation for understanding divisibility itself and how numbers are structured. This paves the way for more complex maths concepts like prime factorisation.
Problem-Solving Efficiency: In various word problems, divisibility rules can be applied to analyse and solve problems quicker.
Confidence and Accuracy: Knowing divisibility rules gives your students more confidence when dealing with multiplication and division. It reduces reliance on calculators and fosters a sense of accuracy when working with numbers.
Benefits for Students:
Engaging & Interactive: Transform learning from memorisation to active exploration with the exciting game and fun activities.
Master Key Maths Skills: Develop a strong understanding and application of divisibility rules, boosting confidence and problem-solving abilities.
