| This is a really engaging resource which brings together 17 BGfL maths booster activities in one environment. Pupils can select their target activity from the volcanoes but to launch one of the 17 activities the pupil first has to 'whack' their chosen activity with a mallet (supplied)! The activities and resources included are as follows: · Area & Perimeter · Checkout Challenge · Co-ordinate Shapes · DigitWize · Division Bingo · Fractions · Matchstick Patterns · Matchstick Sequencing · Measures · Mental Gym · Negative Numbers · Percentages · Shapes · Symmetry · Trainers Challenge · Weather Station · Weigh It Up For teachers who may wish to bypass the game, each of the activities can be directly accessed from the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
This collection of booster activities were all developed as a result of the Athena research project which identified specific areas of maths development where pupils were under-achieving. With thanks to Athena for all their work enabling this important resource to be developed. |
