Arithmetic Master is a game I use with Year 6 in the last few weeks before the SATs. You know how it feels - when you’ve done past paper after past paper and you still need to work on retrieval but you need some ENERGY! This is a quiz which involves partner work, peer support, team names and unlimited points and my children LOVE it. Covering all of the Arithmetic question areas from Paper 1 in a quiz format. • Children work in pairs for this quiz. • For each section (PPT slide) each child will be given 2 to 3 minutes (your discretion) to answer the questions independently on their own piece of paper. • The next 2 minutes will be sharing and discussing answers with their partner. • Before sharing, they will need to decide upon a final answer as a team. • This is great for peer work, talking through HOW they came to their answer. • Points are decided by the teacher: correct answers; superb explanations; good behaviour; staying focused. • I also deduct points to maintain behaviour management: shouting out, arguing etc. I find that the children learn very quickly that it’s all a bit of fun in the midst of all their revision and behave well beyond the first couple of deductions! • Having ultimate power over the points also ensures that you can award points to children with low self esteem who need the boost. There are over 20 colourful question slides, each containing at least 6 Arithmetic questions. This quiz can easily be broken down into sections, over several sessions . I show this as a PPT presentation and everyone looks at the main smartboard but I have also included a PDF in case you need to print out or Air Drop questions. Another PPT and PDF contains the answers which I use as a class so I can see what everyone is getting out of it, what my areas of need are, giving out points and also to keep up the energy. However, this could also be used for self marking. I really hope you and your class enjoy this resource as much as we do!

There are various classroom maths activities, including maths games, which are purely recreational – and no doubt they have their place. But there are maths games which demand a real involvement on the part of the players and which call for both reasoning and imagination(surely two key features of any worthwhile mathematical activity). Some of these are games for two players, where the aim is to win and where competitive excitement can run high; others are solo games, where the aim is to achieve a particular objective and where the satisfaction is a more private one. We have tried numerous games in the classroom, with pupils of different ages and abilities, and have selected eight of our favourites for the collection offered here. The booklet provides clear instructions for each game, together with the appropriate grid for you to photocopy and laminate. None of the games requires complicated materials and all of them are easy to explain and to put into practice.

The nominated students from each team both stand up. The teacher asks the blue team question 1 to the blue team player and awards a penalty if the student answers correctly. The red team penalty taker is then asked the matching red question 1 and is awarded a penalty if the answer is correct. • Another person from each team is then chosen to take the 2nd penalty. • Play continues for 10 rounds (10 questions) and then the number of goals is added up for each team. • If there is a draw, play goes to extra time. Each team chooses their best player to take the final penalty. Only one question is asked to both team players and the 1st player to answer correctly wins the whole match for their team. • At the end of the match, players in the winning team pick a “man of the match” - the student who they think played the best. • This game can also be played by groups of students by allowing one student to be the “teacher”. • It might be fun if the teacher uses their whistle and acts as the referee. • Teachers may also want to allow a victory dance/celebration on scoring a penalty! ♥ You may also like: Balancing Equations Earth Day Maths Animals Time Word Problems ☞ To view my other resources, please go to Maths Shop

EDIT: Removed background image to reduce file size and speed up printing. Sincere apologies if this has been a problem for you - if you’ve already purchased this, the new file will be available to download for free The Lobster Pot Game - including play sheets, teacher guide and variants to extend the game. Links included to dedicated website with random generators and ideas for extending the game further. The Lobster Pot Game is a well-known maths game, suitable for UKS2 and KS3. It is helpful for reinforcing probability, times tables and decision theory - while also being a lot of fun. It is highly requested by my maths groups and is a staple of the end of term. Each day, players distribute their lobster pots either ‘offshore’ (more risk, more reward) or ‘inshore’ (less risk, less reward). Using the money earned, they can purchase further pots and so increase their profits on later days. The aim is to have enough money at the end of each week to pay a steadily-increasing rent. This contains everything you need to play the game with your class, including dedicated worksheets and full instructions for running the game. Simply print and play! **If your class enjoyed this kind of game, have a look at these too: The Energy Game - No-prep lesson about energy generation - dice game with full lesson plan including reflection activities. Recommended for science (energy), geography (land use) and general end of term fun!
