Another super helpful blog post, thank you @GraceCoker27. Grace suggests that one way to use manipulatives is to support problem solving. Lovely @nrichmaths example included too!
💠“Manipulatives can be used in many ways to develop children’s mathematical understanding.”
@GraceCoker27, our maths specialist, shares five ways to use manipulates.

How much do we really learn from a test in primary maths? These experts from @ATMMathematics and @Mathematical_A recommend a more fun approach to primary maths assessment

These incredible resources are well worth a look - I can't recommend them highly enough.
The Joint Primary Group of the MA & @ATMMathematics is pleased to launch 'KS1 Assessment Tasks' - 12 free tasks to assess Y2 children without the need for a test! Click here to download: buff.ly/3ZLY3g5 @easternmaths @helenjwc @CathGripton @emw1001 #PrimaryMaths #KS1

“By explicitly drawing attention to examples of collaborative working [..] we can help all children become collaborative mathematicians.”
Ems and Liz of @nrichmaths discuss ways that we can help learners to work collaboratively in a mathematical context.

Great stuff P7G! I wonder whether the patterns you spotted will carry on for ever? Why, or why not? If anyone else would like to have a go at this task, it's called Sticky Triangles: nrich.maths.org/88
P7G have been working on patterns and relationships in maths today. Groups used their problem-solving strategies to create tables for their results and spot the patterns involved in the triangles @nrichmaths #buildingthinkingclassrooms

Totality is a great game, glad you enjoyed it Year 2! If others would like to try it out, you can find it here: nrich.maths.org/1216 - it provides an opportunity for developing number and calculation fluency, combined with strategic thinking

Well done, 54 numbers is impressive! Can you tweak what you've done to get an even longer chain? If others would like to explore this @nrichmaths challenge, you can find The Factors and Multiples Game here: nrich.maths.org/factorsandmu…
Making the longest # chain where the next # in the chain is a multiple or factor of the previous number. You can only use the numbers 1-100 once in the chain. So far our longest one uses 54 numbers. How long can you go? #thinkingtasks #randomgroupwork @nrichmaths @jcityTNschools

#year6 use the ICT suite to play @nrichmaths The Remainders Game for @Nat_Numeracy day. They used strategies developed earlier in the week, to narrow down the possibilities and eventually "Guess the number". There were some really high scores in the end! @MathsRise @Rise_MAT

Not far from Brighton now, where I'll be working with ITT students. Looking forward to discussing how to nurture young mathematicians using @nrichmaths tasks

You're right, 5B, our Estimating Angles interactivity is really useful for getting a feel for angle sizes. If others would like to try it, you can find it here nrich.maths.org/1235
5B used @nrichmaths ‘Target Angle’ to help secure their understanding of angle sizes. Let’s hope this added knowledge alerts us if we read the wrong scale on the protractor 😉#higherlaney5maths
