Happy World Teachers Day!
To celebrate we're sharing an all-time classic
game called Juniper Green that we learnt from @misterwootube
Best for middle primary all the way up to adults, lots of fun to play and all you need is something to write with.
Enjoy!

Here are five games which situate retrieval practice of number facts and strategies within a bigger, meaningful context.
We've enjoyed playing across a broad range of ages levels and can attest to curiosity they spark through play.

Australian primary school teachers have strong preferences for using non-digital games over digital games to support maths instruction... and not because they are Luddites :) @tobyrusso @kath_cartwright @mminas8 @helenjwc @leicha @JBayWilliams researchgate.net/publication…

Interested in using challenging tasks to explore fractions in middle primary. Check out Jane and Hannah's novel, innovative, thought-provoking sequence of learning @kath_cartwright @helenjwc @tobyrusso @mminas8 @janettebobis @10001angela @ayliedavidson: researchgate.net/publication…

Descriptions for each session for our upcoming conference have been uploaded to our website . Lots of people have asked for this info, so figured it was worth a social media post.
On a side note, I'm very excited about the topics. It's shaping up to be a great day of maths PL!

We're planning for next conference on 24/3. I'd love to hear what topics people would like our presenters to cover on the day?
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to share their thoughts with us, I know this will be very helpful for our planning.
Our article aimed at helping primary teachers think about key types of whole-class maths games, and their relative affordances @tobyrusso @mminas8 @helenjwc @maths_vic @JBayWilliams @kath_cartwright @10001angela researchgate.net/publication…

This is wonderful to read. I hadn't used Questioning Scenarios in many years so it's rewarding to see it resonate.

One of the biggest shifts in my practice over the past few years when teaching maths through structured inquiry is the consideration given to the preliminary task. We discuss some of our ideas here: @tobyrusso @kath_cartwright @10001angela @helenjwc researchgate.net/publication…

NEW: Infinite 100 square.
What numbers go in the highlighted squares? How do you know?

Primary teachers: Looking for a whole class place value game focussed on connecting representations and mathematical reasoning. You might want to check out Guess My Number: Two Questions and a Clue @tobyrusso @kath_cartwright @10001angela @helenjwc researchgate.net/publication…

Does anyone have any questions for me?
Ok, so I am "sitting down" to chat with the amazing @joboaler this week. I am aware that it's an incredible opportunity so I thought I would see if anyone has any questions that you would like me to ask?

Our newest task @strugglymath supports fluency with maths facts by making sense of multiple representations. The card deck features five types of representations! Check us out at struggly.com/classroom
Primary teachers: If you're a fan of Greedy Pig (addition and probability),you might want to consider: "The Mouse, The Cat and The Cheese". Similar mechanics but students play in pairs using a number chart as a gameboard @tobyrusso @mminas8 @10001angela researchgate.net/publication…

In case any teachers in the Melbourne area are looking for some end-of-term (affordable - $35) professional learning focussed on digital maths game @GervasoniAnn and I are running a full day PL at AMCI on Monday 11/9. Register here: acmi.net.au/education/school… @tobyrusso @maths_vic
