We often get our children to use numbers in lots of ways, but the numbers in many cases have no relevance or meaning to them as they have been randomly selected.
I like to use dice and cards in fun ways to generate numbers to use, and this is just another way to generate numbers to use in games.
The reason why I like using spinners is the fact that the children get to construct their own spinner, thus having a degree of ownership over what numbers they get to use.
Also, the simple act of constructing and designing their own spinner is a mathematical activity in itself.
Watch how they become even more creative in designing further spinners, and using them in creative and imaginative ways!!
