Math isn’t tedious—it’s mind-blowing. Here are 59 talks that prove it. abakcus.com/59-mind-blowin…


All you need is a deck of cards for this game! Students work to get rid of all their cards by devising math statements that equal 7. Start w/ addition/subtraction for primaries; challenge juniors to include multiplication/division. Free lesson: oise.utoronto.ca/robertson/less…

An insightful interview with long-time Robertson Program partner, Dr. Zack Hawes, on the power of spatial reasoning in shaping math and science learning.

“Spatial thinking is a fundamental, yet often neglected, aspect of human cognition.” Zachary Hawes tells @aishaschnell how central spatial thinking is to STEM learning. #EdChat boldscience.org/the-psychologi…



Learn about the importance of symmetry in play and development, in spatial reasoning, and resources that can be implemented within the classroom to improve understanding. oise.utoronto.ca/robertson/blog…


Once students can multiply numbers between 1 and 6, challenge them to expand their skills with “Evens & Odds.” This 2-person game extends into multiplying larger numbers, exploring probability, and recognizing prime and squared numbers. Free lesson: oise.utoronto.ca/robertson/less…

You're probably familiar with students counting out loud as a class, but imagine what happens when the conversations when students start counting at 1 1/2 and increase by 2 1/4 each time. Read more about what happens from Sadie Estrella: iamamathnerd.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/cou…

There’s an incredible range of activities you can get from a 2x4 grid outside. Maths, coding, dance, music, PE - or even just a little game for a smile! #playinupperprimary


We love the math possibilities found in a deck of cards! 99 is an adding/subtracting game challenging students to determine a strategy to keep their total score under – you guessed it! – 99! * All you need: A deck of cards oise.utoronto.ca/robertson/less…

99

In this collaborative game, students try to keep the cumulative total under 99 until the deck runs out.
