Statistics
Furbles started life as an idea for teaching statistics in an interesting way; it is also a great way to engage young learners in mathematics activities by looking at...
shapes;
numbers; and
colours.
Learners can also see the relationship between data and visual interpretations such as...
bar graphs;
tables; and
pie charts.
There is no doubt that these would be great activities to use on an Interactive Whiteboard.

Games
Manga High uses game-based learning to help students learn core Mathmatics skills.
Many practitioners do not think game-based learning is the best method
for instruction however many of those same practitioners realise it can
be a highly effective method for supplementing the learning process and
increasing motivation for some students.
Mangahigh's maths games are designed with maths at the core! They also work well on an interactive whiteboard.
