1 Mathmatic Activities to play at home Here is a selection of fun maths activities. These will help your child s understanding of, and confidence in, maths. Why not challenge your child to have a go at a few of these each week? Small, regular bursts of learning are highly effective! You will need to adapt these games to suit the ability of your child. Guess my Number One person thinks of a number and gives clues to the other person about their number e.g. my number is a square number, my number is a multiple of 4 or my number is in the 6 times tables and is larger than 30. Roll the Dice Roll two dice and multiply the numbers together. You could use any operation for this game. Play in pairs. Make up a target number, each roll a dice and add (subtract, multiply or divide) the numbers. The first person to get to the target number wins. Make 9 Randomly generate 4 numbers (e.g. using dice). Can you make 9 using all numbers (using each number only once)? You can use any operation as often as needed. For example =7, 7-6=1, 1x9=9! Maths Surprise Alarm One person sets a timer (e.g. kitchen timer) and both people have to think of as many ways to make a target number e.g. 62. The person to think of the most ways wins. Again, either decide on an operation (+x ) to use or use all four. Beat the Calculator The aim of the game is to get quicker at times tables. You need a pack of playing cards with the picture cards removed and a calculator. Decide who is going to be the first person to use the calculator. Shuffle the cards and turn over the top two. The person with the calculator has to work out the answer using the calculator by multiplying. The other person multiplies the two numbers mentally. Whoever is first wins a point.

2 I spy Assign different shapes different points (e.g. squares score 2 points and hexagons score 10). As you spy the shapes, add up your scores, the first person to 20 wins. You could play this in the car, on holiday, at home (shapes are everywhere!). This game can be played with 3D shapes. Dice Bingo The bingo numbers will be decided by rolling two dice and adding up the scores. Draw up one bingo card for each player, with 8 squares on each card. Each player can choose which 8 numbers to put on their card between 2 and 12. When one of your numbers comes up, you cross it off. The first to cross off all their numbers is the winner. You can have a number more than once on your card. Make Ten The aim of the game is to win two cards that total 10. What you need: 1. Two players. 2. A pack of cards Rules for Make Ten GAME 1. Picture cards count as zero 0 and an Ace is equal to 1 2. Shuffle the cards and place 6 cards face up in a line. 3. Deal the rest of the pack between the two players face down. 4. Player 1 turns a card over: If the card can be paired with its number bond to 10, the player wins both cards and puts it in their winning pile. They have another go until they cannot make 10 with their card and the line of cards. They need to add their unpaired card to the line. 5. Player 2 can have a go now: They will pair the cards from their pile with the cards on the table to make 10 until they have to leave a card down. 6. The winner is the one who has no more cards to play with.
