These free maths resources are available for non-members to download and use. Many more are available to members, and these support the teaching of concepts such as shape, numeral recognition, and mental computations. The games are colourful, easy to play, and practical to use in the classroom with a whole class or small group. I recommend building a collection of mathematical games and making a time every day for students to enjoy and learn with them.
Please browse through the navigation bar to see what kinds of other games and resources are available with membership of The Classroom Kit. Membership is very reasonably priced, and is outstanding value! Resources include both literacy and numeracy activities, games, and classroom materials.
