Hello @davidkbutler.bsky.social - I had the urge to create (yet another) one-player online game/puzzle based on your Digit Disguises game. I have yet to try it out with students though. www.transum.org/Maths/Puzzle... Thanks so much for all the sharing you do. Have a great weekend!

And today's Starter of the Day has had even more comments (69) than yesterday's. Though it's not as mathematical, it certainly has numerical interest. www.transum.org/Intro/Starte... Numbers containing "A" #mathsresources #mathschat #mathstoday #mathchat #lessonstarter

A huge thank you for the 61 comments on today's Maths Starter of the Day! It's great to see so many enjoying the All For 100 puzzle. I'm fascinated by the different solution methods you're all using. www.transum.org/Intro/Starte... #mathsresources #mathschat #mathstoday #mathchat

I realise that when I give an activity a strange title, it's harder to come across when searching for a particular topic. So I'd forgotten "If Then What" was a good way to extend place value understanding. Luckily I found it just in time for my needs. www.transum.org/Maths/Activi... #mathstoday

It's the weekend and to help you relax I highly recommend Ultimate Noughts and Crosses. A game that is far more than the sum of its parts. Excellent for family time or 'me time'. www.transum.org/Software/Gam... #NoughtsAndCrosses #TicTacToe #StrategyGames
