Support students to develop a relational understanding of the equals sign through playing the card game 'the same as' in your classroom. The game can be easily adapted for different year levels.

An engaging task for exploring prime and composite numbers. Here arrays are not just a 'thinking tool',but are at the heart of the task. How many stones might you ask the old man for? How many gold coins could you earn? Toby Russo Michael Minas katherin cartwright researchgate.net/publication/36…

This pattern revealed itself when I was working with a group of grade 5 students on a fraction problem. It may be obvious to many, but I learnt something new! Can you see what we found? I assume this rule has a name? #iteachmath #MTBoS

Best thing I learnt today, the ISS travels 1000 miles in the time it takes The Proclaimers song ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)’ to play. Thanks Randall Munroe what-if.xkcd.com/58/

We are going to try and post more games during 2023. The first is Fishing For Tens, which is incredibly easy to play and great way to help kids develop fluency. All you need to play is a regular deck of cards. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=NVH-tP…

This is a chart of the percentage of 8 and 9 year old students who are still using the count-on from larger strategy when solving addition problems. Two different student groups are being compared. Can you guess the groups? If you’re interested: researchgate.net/publication/37…

I’m back teaching a problem-solving type course, this time for primary pre-service teachers. What are some of your favourite problems to help develop skills in thinking and working mathematically? I’d love to encounter some new ones.

Australian primary school teachers have strong preferences for using non-digital games over digital games to support maths instruction... and not because they are Luddites :) Toby Russo katherin cartwright Michael Minas Dr Helen J Williams she/her🇪🇺 Leicha Bragg Jennifer BayWilliams researchgate.net/publication/38…

Here are five games which situate retrieval practice of number facts and strategies within a bigger, meaningful context. We've enjoyed playing across a broad range of ages levels and can attest to curiosity they spark through play. mathsplay.org/blog/5-playful… #Maths #Play #MTBoS
