How do you get reluctant writers on board? With Super Mario Bros of course! 🍄 ⭐️

This game is a firm favourite with my tutoring pupils and can be used in so many ways.

1. Close your eyes and pick 3 counters from the bowl (can be any number of counters dependent on the age of the child)
2. Turn over your counters. What number have you made?
3. Who’s number is the greatest? Yours or mine?
4. Draw the greater than/less than sign between the two numbers
5. Repeat until you’ve made enough different numbers
6. Now order all the numbers we’ve made from smallest to biggest
7. Point to a number with ‘x’ number of hundreds/tens/ones
8. Which numbers are even/odd?
9. Choose two numbers and find the difference using column subtraction
10. Choose two numbers and add them together. Which two numbers do I need to choose to make the largest/smallest total?

Brilliant! 🤩

Today was number bond revision! We revised number bonds to 10 and 100 and then used this knowledge to find missing numbers to 100. Quite tricky at first, because we kept forgetting the extra 10 made up by the ones, but we got there in the end!
Numicon and a pairs game made this super fun!
