Pair Games

***The classroom is a hive of activity with pupils pitting their wits***

• Self differentiating...

• Self-marking...

• Pupils challenging each other at their own level...

• Children challenging their parents at home...

Covering exactly the same range of topics as the skill checks, the pair games allow pupils to pit their wits against their classmates, challenging each other with examples of their own creation, in the area of maths that you want them to consolidate.

The scoring system is specially designed to ensure that children are fair in setting realistic challenges for their partners: if their partner fails to get a question right, it is given back to the pupil who devised the question and a wrong answer here means a lost point! 

The pair games can also be set as a homework activity with children challenging their parents.

The online materials work beautifully on an interactive board or tablet and can also be used on any (PC or Mac) desktop or laptop.

There are too many pair games for them to be listed individually, but the link below will take you to the index, where you can browse to see the range of options available.
