For this week only, S1’s Mathletics points will go towards

Interclass Games. The winning Registration class by Midnight

on Sunday will earn

most points, and there will be points

available for second and third place.

Currently 1F are way in the lead with 4,101 Mathletics points!

There is still the weekend to get active on Mathletics

and earn points for your Registration class.

Remember you get 10 points for every correct answer on the

activities, and 1 point for every correct answer on Live Mathletics.

Try this game at home to practice your multiples and factors.

You will need:

A printout or written copy of the board and spinners; a paperclip; a pencil; counters (even coins will work here if you don’t have counters).

Set up: 

Print/copy the game board and spinners. To use a spinner, you can use a paperclip fixed in the centre by a pin or pencil.

Instructions:

1. Choose a multiple, for example 6
2. Spin the ‘multiples of 6’ spinner.
3. Divide the number you land on by 6.
4. Place a counter on the number you get. For example if your spinner lands on 30, you would put a counter on 5. (since 6 x 5 = 30)

The winner is the first person to get three counters in a row.
