Making Maths Fun

Middle School Maths

Making Maths fun and modifying the context in which children are using their numeracy skills is something that Nicole has introduced to her class this year.  Nicole has engaged her students by creating a number of variables that can be manipulated to challenge students. She has used the idea of the dartboard and the areas where the score is doubled and tripled.  Velcro balls act as the 'darts' and students throw the ball at the wall that starts the calculations.  The first activity today has been to double or triple the outer number, then adding all the numbers together.  Functions can vary, as can the numbers around the outside of the target.  "Triple Tuesday" will run as a regular activity in Maths.
