Children should come to school and love being there! Innovation, engagement and excitement should be the hallmarks of their learning. They should be given skills and tools which will allow them to become better prepared for life in an uncertain future. Having a purpose to their learning and knowing why they are learning something are also integral to their formative education. And remember, it isn't only the children who need to be engaged - so do you! I hope these plans help to achieve this.

Maths Bidmas Tabletop War Game Year 6/7

This game is an incredibly fun, addictive and different way to reinforce Bidmas through the genre of tabletop war gaming. The resource includes the rules for the games as well as a powerpoint for special weapons known as the god scrolls. You will need to find your own pieces to represent the different characters but I have used chess pieces, child-designed pieces and differently-coloured counters for this. In previous classes, I have also included a premier league and a cup competition to boost interest in the game. I would also encourage you start with groups of three when playing where one of the players acts as the games master. I hope you and the children you teach enjoy the game as much as my classes have.
