Background

Improving children’s mental maths skills. Using DS Brain Training to give children another interesting and stimulating resource to enjoy maths.

How ICT supported learning and teaching

One group per week used DS’s as an extension to their teaching and maths tasks. Children were competing against each other, trying to beat each other’s scores and times. Motivating children to finish tasks to move on to a stimulating extension activity.

Impact/ Conclusion

Borrowing for longer periods of time would be beneficial to make sure all children get a chance to use these.
