| I am always looking for new and engaging activities during my maths rotations. I really wanted some more hands on activities that would keep my students on task during their independent rotation activities. I was shopping and came across some magnetic fish sets, and thought they would be perfect for a new game! |

There is a colour and black and white version for each game. I like to laminate the colour version and use during rotations, or alternatively use the black and white verson as a worksheet and keep for a record of student learning. |  |
I purchased a few cheap magetic fishing sets and wrote a number between 0-10 on each one. (I placed them in little blow up pool to make the game more exciting, but you can plase the fish whever you want) |  |
Students take turns using the fishing rods to pick up fish (the number of fish depends on the game) 1 - Addition - choose 2 fish and students write the 2 numbers into the fish on the template. Add those 2 numbers together and write it in the box 2 - Multiplication - choose 2 fish and students write thw 2 numbers into the fish on the template. Multiply those 2 numbers together and write it in the box 3 - Place Value 2 digits - Students choose 2 numbers - and depending on what side of the sheet they are doing have to make the biggest or smallest number they can using those 2 numbers 4 - Place Value 3 digits - Students choose 3 numbers - and depending on what side of the sheet they are doing have to make the biggest or smallest number they can using those 3 numbers |
