MATHMAGIC is a great game for teaching mental maths, strategy and problem solving.  It is a board game loosely based on Scrabble but instead of building words, players must choose to place tiles in such a way as to produce the most advantageous calculations.  Using the four rules, the game is accessible to players from age 8 upwards and makes a great focus for a maths club, a school competition or a maths day.  The advanced game includes higher numbers and squared and cubed roots.

EBP STEM will run a school competiton for you, a maths day, including other popular games as well or why not take part in our annual:
