Orchard Toys Magic Maths Game & Match and Spell Next Steps Board Game

Product Information

In a number pyramid, numerals are arranged in patterns, and one or more squares are left empty to be filled in with the correct answer(s). In this one, each number is found by subtracting the smaller from the larger of the two numbers underneath. For example, 8 – 2 = 6 and 5 – 3 = 2. The correct answer here is 7 – 3, which equals 4. Try this one with your students, then see if they can create their own math pyramids. These extra-curricular clubs will also provide children with the opportunity to communicate with like-minded pupils and build friendships through common interests.

For example - to multiply 9 by 5, fold down the fifth finger from the left. Count fingers on either side of the "fold" to get the answer. In this case, the answer is 45. Featuring competitive gameplay, fun wizard characters and a broad range of simple and challenging sums, this spellbinding game is bound to be a favourite amongst conscientious parents and budding wizards!
