Smarteenies Shape Store

In this CBeebies game you can choose to match easy or hard pictures, or create your own on a
blank screen. The aim is to choose shapes and colours which match the guide picture. In the harder
levels, you also have to rotate and resize the shape. When you’ve finished, you can animate your
picture and print it out.

Clockwise Time Game

In this BBC Education game you can choose three levels. Level 1 is for
o’clock times only, level 2 uses 15 minute intervals and level 3 five minute intervals. A time
is displayed at the top and you have to move the hands by clicking on the clock face. As the
clock face changes, the digital clock shows the matching time. Nice sound effects!

colours, making sure you colour the correct number of squares to match the fraction.

Why play maths games?

To make progress in maths, it’s important to master the basics. There’s no point trying to learn to add when you
haven’t yet learnt how to count, and it’s very hard to understand times tables when you can’t yet add.

The trouble is, maths skills need quite a lot of practice before they become automatic. Practising maths skills
over and over again can be rather boring. That’s where playing maths games can help. There are so many different
games to help you master all the different maths skills that learning maths becomes fun!
