Maths Games

Following the maths symposium in Dunners yesterday I'm enthused to create some more games! After seeing what one of the teachers from a New Entrant class at Columba College has put together (an amazing maths folio!!!) I'm keen to get this all recorded too so lots of photos will need to be taken of what I already have with links to the learning that these would be useful in fostering.

Arithmetic Rummy - has the cards you can print, rules etc.
Box cars & One eyed jack - lots of games linked on this page.
number club - place value
25 - addition & subtraction game with cards

setting goals

Half way through the year, new term starting...time to reflect and develop some goals!

To reach a port we must sail, sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must not drift or lie at anchor.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

Little goals for little children - Set a goal, take action, achieve a result!
The goal ladder - with a link to a cool ladder graphic for breaking down goals
Goal setting - general info

I enjoyed reading some ideas on 'back to school success' for both my own children and students I teach! I am thinking that 'did I give my best effort today' could be a good reflection focus!
