We have been using the Clockwork Brain app as a maths extension activity this week in year 3. The activities are really accessible for all children in the class. But they also provide a real challenge as children have to race against the clock to complete tasks. The app has a Victorian theme and the objects in the games are great.
In the 'chase the number' activity children have to memorise the numbers before they disappear and then select the numbers in order from smallest to biggest.
In the 'Missing Tiles' activity Children have to race against the clock to select the correct number of missing tiles. Children that want to get more points have to find ways of speeding up their mental maths skills, for example, by counting the tiles in groups of 2 to speed up their counting.
We have been looking at light and shadow in science, and shape in maths so the silhouette activities have linked the two subjects nicely. Children have to choose the right silhouettes as fast as possible.
