Parents, schools and the community need to do all they can to ensure that our children are leaving school with a positive attitude to mathematics. We do not accept that it is socially acceptable to say ï¿½l am no good at mathsï¿½.

This is an example: TRIHEX Why: To investigate game strategies Equipment: Playing board 10 counters (5 blue, 5 Red) How: ï¿½ Players take turns putting a counter of their own colour on a cell on the board. ï¿½ The first player to get three counters, of their own colour, in a straight line is the winner. Think: Can you find a winning strategy? Are there some cells better to use than others? Does the player playing first have a greater chance of winning? Is this a fair game?
