"Four in a Line" gamesThese games are enormously adaptable. They can be used for a vast range of mathematical topics, and can be differentiated quite easily - by changing numbers, by giving children some sort of material support or often just by judicious pairing. Obviously there is no need for each game to follow a ‘"Four in a Line"’ rule - it might be 2 or 3 or even 5 in a line rule; it could also be ‘four joined up’ or even making a line right across the board ( as in Blockbuster ).

Developing calculations and number facts.

This group of games can be used to reinforce teaching of number facts, such as tables or number bonds, and can also be used to help children develop specific calculation strategies, such as multiplying by multiples of 100, 50, 20, 5 etc.
