A good game for negative numbers and mathematical thinking. This game is for two players - you can use the interactivity below, or you could draw a number line on a piece of paper and find a counter to use. In both cases, you will need two dice. Decide who is Positive and who is Negative. Positive moves from left to right and Negative moves from right to left. Take it in turns to throw the two dice and add the scores then move that number of places in your direction. If the counter reaches −13, Negative has won. If the counter reaches 13, Positive has won.

This learning object is one in a series of nine objects.

Balance scales by using blobs. Explore how many black blobs and white blobs balance each other. Discover the rule that balances the scales with the correct number and type of blobs. For example, 2 black blobs balances 1 white blob. Find out how many black blobs balance 2 white blobs. Build a number pattern. Then use the rule to solve a problem by moving blobs to make the scales balance. Go on to balancing scales with black, white and grey blobs. This learning object is a combination of three objects in the same series. Students identify that one item can be used to represent a value of more than one. Students predict the numerical relationship (ratio) between two or three types of items. Students analyse number sentences and record the equivalent relations.
