Maths snooker game

Lovely resource for stimulating learning and getting eveyone off to a good start. Thank you!! A pupil stands with his or her back to the screen and the teacher selects a word Click the button above. Members of the class give clues so that the person with their back to the screen can guess the word. If a large screen isn't available the teacher could select a word and a pupil could come up to the teacher's computer to read it.

This pupil then gives clues to the rest of the class to guess the word. Whoever guesses it first is the next to be the clue giver. One member of each team stands with their backs to the screen and the teacher selects a word Click the button above.

The two teams take turns giving their team member a clue to the mystery word. The first team member to guess the word wins a point for their team. The pupil asks the rest of the class questions which they can only answer "Yes" or "No". Note that the last game, which decides the contest, must be won by A. To support this aim, members of the NRICH team work in a wide range of capacities, including providing professional development for teachers wishing to embed rich mathematical tasks into everyday classroom practice.

Just to keep things interesting, just like in real life, you may occasionally 'slice' or miss-hit the ball so it does not go in the direction you have typed in. Also the ball might occasionally bounce over the rim of the table.

Be careful! Playing a game requiring estimating skills is much more fun that working through a traditional exercise.

Used this with an able Year 9 group which enjoyed it. Couldn't afford the colour copying though! I tend to print once, laminate then re-use again with another group to make it worth the money.
