Melbourne, we did it.

After what seems like an eternity, the end is just around the corner.

With the 70 percent target days away, we'll be freed from months of crushing lockdowns this Friday. @_StephAnderson #9News

Great to see our editor's games being used as part of @maths300 platform. Video well worth watching

[Michael Minas @mminas8]

Today's game was selected to be transformed into a Maths300 lesson, which was pretty exciting! This video an updated version of one we posted a few months back, with some improvements to the rules as a result of writing the lesson up for Maths300. Enjoy!

Today's game is Nearest to One another @surfmaths original creation. It is a great way to develop conceptual understanding of fractions and encourage fantastic discussions between students. All you need is a deck of cards. Enjoy!

This is so look great! Shows how a slight twist/change is rules can transform a game

[Michael Minas @mminas8]

Sharing a new game every day to be played at home- Day 12 is Rowco 2.0. This was already a fantastic game but we have added a new element that increases the level of strategic thinking- Kings who steal cards #iteachmath #remotelearning

Another really simple yet mathematically rich game

[Michael Minas @mminas8]

Sharing new game each day to help with home teaching. Day 10 is Mastermind. Quick, fun and easy to play. Also great for exploring place value concepts

Another great game...especially when u consider it was designed by a 6 yr old

[Michael Minas @mminas8]

Sharing a game per day. Day 9- Ten Frame Filler. This version is the brainchild of Nash & its worth sharing bc it highlights importance of letting kids play with the rules to see how slight variations can change the game #iteachmaths

[Michael Minas @mminas8]

I'm sharing a game per day to help families and teachers during this tricky time. Day 5 is Nash's all-time favourite game- 4 Corners. Enjoy! #mathsathome #stayhome
