ABCYA - 100 Snow Balls

Hi everyone,

Have a go at making something, anything you like out of snow balls. The catch is that you can only use 100 balls. 100 Snow Balls is a game that will keep you carefully counting until the job is done! What do you think of my snow spider ?

Animal See-Saw

Hi Everyone,

Animal See-Saw is another game that I just had to add because it is so good. The aim of the game is to keep the see-saw in balance by adding animals to each side without exceeding a total of 5kg on either side. It offers good practise reading kilo measurements and devlops 'counting on' and 'difference between' skills.

Peep And The Big Wide World- Hop To It

Hi Everyone,
Our feature maths site for the day is Hop To It. When you have entered the site click on the word 'games' and then choose the' Hop to it' link. The aim of the game is to get the frog across the pond, by jumping on lily pads, without it falling into the water. it requires you to estimate distances and choose the the right amount of spring for the job. A click on the hyperlink will take you there!

Top Marks For Maths Sites

Hi Everyone,
We are using the Top Marks International Key Stage 1& 2 sites for our whole class maths sessions over the next few weeks. I am really impressed with this site. The games and activities are highly engaging and work well on an interactive whiteboard and regular computer. You will find them under the 'Explore on your own' links. Our focus for the rest of this week will be on the measurement section of Key Stage 1. We will be looking specifically at telling the time and measuring lines.
