This year I have gone back to the classroom after 11 years in different roles in a number of schools.
Apart from the huge shock in how much paperwork and planning documents there are, I discovered common trends wherever I worked that showed areas where I felt I could assist both children and teachers.
Basic number skills is an area where many children struggle, so I'm always on the lookout for new ways to help students learn them in different, and hopefully enjoyable ways.
With my current Gr 5 class, we discuss strategies and approaches constantly, and this activity is a result of spending time every day before school playing maths games and thinking of ways to invent new games.
I hope you try this one, and above all, that your kids like it.
Cheers!!
