We played different maths games recently to practice turn taking, counting, matching, memorising, comparing and winning and losing graciously.

When we used long spaghetti, our shapes were shaky and unsteady, so we decided to break the spaghetti in half.  Our shapes became more stable.  We made squares, triangles, rectangles, diamonds, cubes, pyramids, and cuboids. “I put pieces of spaghetti inside the squares of my cube to make it more steady, then it made four triangles inside the
