Our Junior Math programme provides
Games Galore
Play exciting maths games, solve puzzles, and participate in hands-on activities that bring learning to life.
Number Bingo:
Create bingo cards with numbers up to 100, tailoring the range to students' skill levels. Instead of calling out numbers, announce math problems (e.g., "5+3" for 8, "4x2" for 8). Players solve the problem mentally and mark off the answer on their cards if they have it. Encourage students to explain their solving strategies to promote mathematical communication. Vary problem types to include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for comprehensive practise.v
Multiplication War:
Play with a standard deck of cards, removing face cards (or assign them values of 10). Each player flips two cards simultaneously and multiplies the numbers. The player with the highest product wins all cards from that round. If there's a tie, players have a "war," flipping additional cards until one player wins. Keep score by counting cards at the end, or play until one player has all the cards, reinforcing multiplication facts throughout.
Pattern Block Puzzles:
Provide a set of pattern blocks (geometric shapes) and outline templates for students to fill. Start with simple outlines and progress to more complex shapes as students gain confidence. Encourage students to find multiple ways to fill each outline, promoting creative problem-solving. Discuss geometric properties of the blocks, such as angles and sides, as students work. Challenge students to create their own outline designs for classmates to solve, fostering deeper understanding of shape composition.
Fraction Pizza:
Provide paper circles representing pizzas and smaller coloured paper pieces for toppings. Give students fraction-based instructions for creating pizzas (e.g., "Make a pizza with 1/4 pepperoni, 1/2 cheese, and 1/4 mushrooms"). Students cut and arrange paper toppings to match the given fractions, visualising fractional parts. Use the pizzas to compare fractions, find equivalent fractions, and perform simple fraction addition and subtraction. Extend the activity by having students create their own fraction pizza recipes and exchange them with classmates.
Mastering Basics
Build a strong foundation in essential maths concepts through interactive exploration and engaging challenges.
Counting and Number Recognition:
Use colourful counters or objects to practise counting up to 100. Play "Number Hunt" to find and identify numbers in the environment. Create number lines with stickers or drawings to visualise number order. Sing counting songs and rhymes to reinforce number sequences. Use dot cards or ten frames to develop subitising skills and number sense.
Addition and Subtraction:
Use manipulatives like blocks or counters to physically represent addition and subtraction. Play board games that involve moving forward (adding) or backward (subtracting) spaces. Practise mental math with fun "fact family" challenges using numbers up to 20. Create simple word problems using everyday objects to apply addition and subtraction. Use number bonds to visualise part-whole relationships in addition and subtraction.
Shapes and Patterns:
Go on a "shape scavenger hunt" to identify 2D and 3D shapes in the environment. Create patterns using coloured blocks, beads, or stickers, then predict "what comes next". Play "Guess the Shape" by describing attributes like sides and corners. Use tangrams or pattern blocks to create pictures while exploring shape properties. Sort everyday objects by shape to reinforce recognition and classification skills.
Data Collection:
Conduct simple class surveys on favourite colours, pets, or foods. Create pictographs using stickers or drawings to represent survey results. Use sorting activities to group objects by various attributes (colour, size, shape). Make simple bar graphs using blocks or Lego to compare quantities. Play "Guess My Rule" to practise organising data based on different criteria.
Homework Help
Get expert support with school assignments and reinforce learning with practise from popular math books.
Basic Arithmetic:
Practise addition and subtraction facts using flashcards or online games. Learn multiplication tables through songs, rhymes, or skip counting activities. Use manipulatives like counters or base-10 blocks to visualise place value concepts. Solve word problems involving the four operations using real-life scenarios. Play "Math War" card game to reinforce quick mental calculations.
Fractions and Decimals:
Use fraction circles or bars to compare and order fractions visually. Practise equivalent fractions by folding paper strips or using fraction tiles. Convert between fractions and decimals using 10x10 grids or number lines. Solve simple fraction addition and subtraction problems using visual models. Explore decimal place value using money or metric measurement examples.
Measurement:
Estimate and measure lengths of everyday objects using standard and non-standard units. Practise telling time with both analog and digital clock models. Use kitchen scales to weigh ingredients, reinforcing mass measurement concepts. Measure liquid volumes using graduated cylinders or measuring cups in cooking activities. Create a personal timeline to understand and calculate elapsed time.
Geometry:
Identify and draw 2D shapes, focusing on their properties (sides, angles, symmetry). Build 3D shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows or nets. Practise perimeter calculations by measuring the outline of various objects. Explore area concepts using square tiles or graph paper to cover surfaces. Use a geoboard and rubber bands to create and transform geometric shapes.
