This article outlines teaching ideas appropriate for primary mathematics. It is mainly aimed at primary school teachers and teacher-researchers. It introduces two game-based activities ‘Can you find another way?’ and ‘How many plates to create?’, collectively referred to as The Plate Games. Both these games allow students to explore the part-whole...

... a number greater than three comes up, the student needs to use one or more of the paper plates to create that number. For example, if the student rolled a 12 (assuming they are playing with a 20-sided dice), they might pick up the paper plates marked with 7 dots and 5 dots, or the paper plate marked with 10 dots and two plates with 1 dot, or another possible combination (see Figure 2). • After creating their number, the first student places the plates used to create their number face down at their feet (so the dots are not visible). ...

Situations based on table games to attend the elaboration of school mathematical knowledge
Abstract: In this article, we encourage the teacher to rethink his performance, to deepen his knowledge, using board games in class. We begin by clarifying what we understand by rethinking the teacher. Then we describe lessons based on board games, attending...

... Building on the Plate Games presented in a previous version of Prime Number (Russo, 2017), this article introduces ten simple subitising-related activities that can be undertaken with a set of subitising plates. The activities are suitable for oneon-one educator-student (or parent-child) interactions, teacher-facilitated small group work, or as a whole-of-class number fluency warm-up. ...
... In conjunction with The Plate Games (see Russo, 2017), these activities are intended to strengthen children's conceptual subitising capacity, build overall number sense and develop a structural understanding of number to support additive and (eventually) multiplicative thinking. If you are an Early Years teacher with engaging classroom ideas to support the development of conceptual subitising (or other early number concepts), we would love to hear from you. ...
