Happy Australian Primary Principals’ Day to the excellent school leaders that MANSW have had the privilege to support and assist!
Consider attending our leaders day as part of our Annual Mathematics Conference in September!

A photo of six people playing Bodyscale Prime Climb, with the photo cropped so you can’t see anyone’s faces. Each person has a coloured sash somewhere on themselves, making three teams: purple, yellow and green. They are standing on specific A4 cards in an array laid out on the floor. The cards have numbers on them in circles, each number’s circle coloured in some combination of red, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Bodyscale Prime Climb at One Hundred Factorial today @mathforlove.bsky.social . We played three games: one with 101 as the target, one with 53 as the target, and one with 37 as the target. Strategies in each were so different!
Interesting price comparisons - great discussions from this graph I’m sure!
An awesome new game for students to encourage mathematical thinking! @mathsnsw
As part of an effort with @earlyfamilymath.bsky.social to create an activity for math nights (more on that later), I’ve been working on new math game.
And it's done! Download, print, and play Five Flags Peak.
And if you do, let me know what you think!

A design made of pattern blocks between two angled mirrors. The design is made of yellow hexagons, little green triangles and a big green triangle, and is reflected six times around.
A design made of pattern blocks between two angled mirrors. The design is made of a two grey darts, a blue diamond, a purple concave hexagon, two teal kites, two pink right-angled triangles, two red trapeziums, a yellow hexagon, a little green triangle and two long stripes of tan narrow diamonds along the mirrors’ surfaces. All of this is reflected six times around.
A design made of pattern blocks between two angled mirrors. A big red trapezium touches both mirrors, and in the gap behind it is a teal kite and two small green triangles. In front are two bright red small trapeziums, two purple concave hexagons and a big blue diamond. On top is a grey dart and a teal kite. All of this is reflected six times around.
