Place Value Puzzler. Quick and simple place value warm up activities

Place value game. Students have a short time limit (depending on the level) to correctly answering the question about which column each number falls into. Children also have to correctly write the numbers up to 6 digits.

Numeracy resources and templates from the recent Ron Smith books about counting, place value and fractions

A great interactive game that applies knowledge about place value, addition, subtraction, estimation and mental strategies

a Flash based website with interactive manipulatives that students and teachers can use to introduce or reinforce maths concepts. It is suitable for students from Kindergarten to Year Eight. This site is very simple to use (mostly drag and drop) and requires very little preparation. You simply choose a background from the collection of Game Boards, Story Boards or Work Mats. Work Mat options include place value mats, tens frames, graph paper, algebra tiles, in and out equation tables, blank calendars, number lines and number charts.

You can choose from easy or hard levels. The aim of the game is to compare the fractions and click on the one with the highest value. In the easy level you have four to choose from, but in the harder level you have six fractions to choose from

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.

An interactive activity about settling in Ainslie. Key Learning Objectives: Students investigate the stories of individuals and groups of people who moved to Australia. Students describe a range of effects that migration has on people. Students identify strategies migrants use to maintain links with the past. Educational Value: Describes how migrants have adapted to life in Australia and maintained links with their original culture. Illustrates artefacts associated with migrants from a range of countries. Includes graphics contrasting architectural styles and interior decorations between 1838 and 2003. Encourages students to explore, synthesise and interpret information from a range of sources. Illustrates a range of experiences and attitudes using fictional characters. Provides a printable worksheet with key graphics and the student's responses to questions about the migrants' experiences.

Add or subtract a given number to achieve the "wishball" number in 20 turns.

IWB Abacus great for counting in early years.

Great interactive website to model addition with MAB - very helpful to show regrouping

Hyperlinks to the different variations that are available in the wishball series

Great interactive website to model subtraction with MAB - very useful when explaining regrouping
