This festive estimation game is fun for all ages! Split your class into 5 teams and display the question and picture on the interactive whiteboard. Play the countdown timer and the teams will have 30 seconds to discuss their best estimate for that question. Then take each teams' estimate and reveal the answer. Closest team gets three points, second closest two points and third closest gets one point. Other teams get nothing! Features 25 questions with a festive theme and a record sheet. Perfect for an end of term fun lesson before Christmas- students will surprise themselves at how good (and bad in some cases!) their estimates are, whilst learning interesting and new facts at the same time. Tried and tested with my own classes for several years, students love it!

A massive collection of 116 puzzles for display on interactive whiteboards! These puzzles encourage lateral thinking and "thinking-outside-the-box" and are not really targeted at any specific year group. Volume 1 contains relatively easy puzzles so they could be used by a variety of age and ability groups from Year 5 all the way up to Year 11 as lesson starters or lesson ends, or a quick break from the rest of the lesson. Have used them for years with my own classes and they are very popular! Have updated them for amore modern look. Ideal for maths lesson as logical thinking is encouraged but could be used by teacher's of any subject. All sorts of puzzles are included involving coins, words, logic, matchsticks, sequences, trick questions, maths magic, physical and shape puzzles. Start the PowerPoint and choose your puzzle ! 116 puzzles mean there are enough for three per week for the whole school academic year! (HINT:- It may be helpful to use the coin and matchstick puzzles without the PowerPoint being run, because then students can drag and move the coins / matchsticks around on the interactive whiteboard! Enjoy..!

Remember the classic children's game Guess Who? Well this is Guess What! Designed to support and encourage childrens' mathematical reasoning and verbal questioning through playing a game. There are two versions - the shape game and the numbers game. The teacher chooses a shape or number and secretly writes this down on a piece of paper which is hidden from the children. Children then have to ask mathematical questions to eliminate shapes / numbers to ultimately guess the teacher's shape / number. Only questions with "yes" or "no" answers can be asked. E.g. Is your shape 3D? Does you shape have any curved edges? Does your shape have any equal sides? etc. Suitable for aged 9-14 children. Children can play whole class versus the teacher or in pairs in their book (to do this they just need to draw a 6 by 4 square grid in their books to correspond with the game board projected on the whiteboard! Lots of fun for children to enjoy their maths learning.
