Happy World Teachers Day!
To celebrate we're sharing an all-time classic
game called Juniper Green that we learnt from @misterwootube
Best for middle primary all the way up to adults, lots of fun to play and all you need is something to write with.
Enjoy!

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.

Descriptions for each session for our upcoming conference have been uploaded to our website . Lots of people have asked for this info, so figured it was worth a social media post.
On a side note, I'm very excited about the topics. It's shaping up to be a great day of maths PL!

We're planning for next conference on 24/3. I'd love to hear what topics people would like our presenters to cover on the day?
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to share their thoughts with us, I know this will be very helpful for our planning.

This is wonderful to read. I hadn't used Questioning Scenarios in many years so it's rewarding to see it resonate.

Does anyone have any questions for me?
Ok, so I am "sitting down" to chat with the amazing @joboaler this week. I am aware that it's an incredible opportunity so I thought I would see if anyone has any questions that you would like me to ask?

Sharing a new maths game this morning called Game of 31. Super easy to set-up & it rewards repeated playing, as each time you play, you are likely to deepen your strategic thinking. Best of all, a deck of cards is all you need to get started!
Enjoy!

Choc Chip Cookies is the 100th game we have shared! It's easy to play but incorporates so many different maths elements, hence it has become one of our new favourites. We hope you enjoy playing it and look forward to sharing more with you in the future.

Are you better at writing a lesson plan than a bot? My latest blog explores just that! With mention of research by @surfmaths @NadiaWalker_edu primarylearning.com.au/2023/… @primarylearnau #primarylearning
James Russo retweeted
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!
