Published by BEAM, these games provide opportunities for students to practise and consolidate their knowledge and understanding of shape and space. The three games, with their mathematical content, are: *Angles - identifying right, acute and obtuse angles in shapes *Coordinates grid game - generating co-ordinates...

This game, aimed at primary level involves recognising and matching 2D shapes. The game consists of a track with a 'shopping list' of shapes for each player. Players start in the bottom left-hand corner and move a single counter around the board. The idea is that children take it in turns to roll a dice and move...
