Today we have a giveaway for our readers from the Lightning Maths. This company was set up by a primary school teacher, Roy Clutterbuck, to help support number fluency and problem solving within kids. It’s a fast-paced Maths game for kids, and it looks like loads of fun!
How to play Lampogo 3?
The idea of the game is simple:
- Pick a card,
- Each card shows a number puzzle,
- Be the first to put the digits in the right order on the card, and shout Lampogo, and you win the card,
- The player with the most cards, wins!
The game is designed for ages 7+, and can be played with up to four players. You can even compete with yourself in solo mode, so it may be an ideal choice for keeping the kids busy when they are on their own.
Roy Clutterbuck, who designed the game, is a primary school teacher in London. He set up Lightning Maths as a social enterprise to support those with Maths anxiety, and help them to rediscover the joy of Mathematical endeavour. The social enterprise also uses the money generated from profits to help improve Maths engagement in schools.
The Lampogo 3 game has been crowdfunded and was made in Spring 2021 following that funding launch.
The game has even been recommended by National Numeracy, with them including it within their Family Maths Toolkit:
“Good to have numbered counters which can be manipulated in a ‘trial and error’ approach…it also provides the opportunity for mathematical conversations.”
