Math Games (Foundational)

# Fun with Numbers for Growing Minds Bring math and fantasy together with these explorable scenes, each with its own colorful world to discover! Your students can draw on their fluency with numbers and meet vibrant characters, find hidden objects and conquer a mathematical maze. These activities provide your classroom with playful ways to develop skills of subitizing, sequencing and even working memory. ## Key Learning Outcomes: 1. Practice subitizing small quantities and mentally grouping items together for larger quantities 2. Identify the missing number in a sequence counting by 2s, 5s or 10s 3. Determine a correct mathematical strategy to solve problems ## How to Use This Playlist: This playlist includes a range of resources designed to challenge students to use their number sense to solve mathematical clues. To preview a track, scroll down and select the track you want to view. Here are some suggestions on how to use the resources: ***Counting in the Clouds Explorable Scene*** – Use this scene to explore relationships between numbers. Upon reaching the top of the hot air balloon, your students will encounter different groupings of objects for each number from one to ten. Invite them to work with a partner and quiz each other on how many objects there are. They might ask questions like: "How many stars could you see?" or "How many more balloons than kites?" To develop further, encourage them to write number sentences or see who can remember the objects without looking in the headset! - [Counting in the Clouds](https://edvr.se/tf0-5QU-cXp/numbers-counting-clouds) ***Skip Counting with Skribby Explorable Scene*** - Discover Skribby the Skeleton's enchanted ballroom, where clothes come to life and dance on hundreds charts! Ask your students to consider which squares they land on, and why? Can they see the clues on the wall? By working out the correct number in these sequences, they should be able to life the matching floor tile and reveal Skribby's hats hiding under the floor. - [Skip Counting with Skribby](https://edvr.se/tf0-5QU-cXp/skip-counting-100) ***Math Maze Explorable Scene*** - Navigate through this hedge maze where the right path can only be determined by solving mathematical clues on the ground. These questions require students to select appropriately from their knowledge across a range of topics, from simple fractions and angle facts, to units of measurement and pictorial equations. - [Math Maze](https://edvr.se/tf0-5QU-cXp/math-maze-scene)
