Another great game! This one comes from James Russo and Toby Russo.

HOW WE SET UP TODAY:
🎲 In groups of three
🎲 One 120-chart per group
🎲 3 counters of one colour per player

HOW WE PLAYED:
1️⃣ Each player chose and covered three Bingo numbers in with their coloured counters on the 120-chart. For today, we didn't limit students to number past 20.

2️⃣ Players took turns rolling the dice. On each roll, the group skip-counted by that number starting at zero.

3️⃣ Players stop counting when they encounter a counter i.e. a Bingo number. That counter is removed from the 120-chart and returned to its owner.

4️⃣ The winner is the first to claim back all three of their counters. The remaining two players can decide whether to draw second/last or whether to keep playing to place 2nd and 3rd/last.

WHAT WE NOTICED:
👀 Certain numbers have better Bingo odds than other numbers.

👀 We think we found a Bingo number that is divisible by all numbers on a 6-sided dice! Some of us are certain about this while others of us want to test it out...

👀 There will be lots of variations on this game!

In case you missed it, the keynote presentation from Maths Play's first in-person conference is now available to view on-demand.

In this keynote, Laureate Professor Marilyn Fleer demonstrates how imagination (jumping into a story) can build imagination in STEM learning (solving a maths problem to help the characters).

Enjoy this 4-part session and count it as an hour of professional development:

Part 1: Engagement in mathematics

Part 2: A Conceptual PlayWorld in Years Foundation and 1

Part 3: A Conceptual PlayWorld in Years 5 and 6

Part 4: Why imagination matters

#MathsPlay

Dear #maths professionals, educators, learners & enthusiasts,

We are researching the relationship between #play & #mathematics. And are curious:

1) How often do you get symptoms of PLAY in your maths work? What sort of things are you working on?

2) Also, which of the verbs / verb phrases resonate for you as frequently being at the heart of the work that produces symptoms of PLAY?

If you had to pick say, 3...
(from the 'What can happen naturally in play?' list here)
...What would they be?
