I make maths games so you're students don't hate maths. To be honest, the games in my actual class are usually made up on a whim, but I polish up the ones that work really well and post them here. I teach middle years maths in Australia, so my resources are geraed towards that, although if you email me and I have time, I can modify an existing resource to make it Primary compatible - up to you. I hope you find something you like :) Mr Steve
