Description

The new home for schools who play Stick and Split.

Stick and Split is a deceptively simple, addictive game. But what makes it so special is while they are playing it, children learn and practise their times tables, perhaps without even realising it.

Research shows the more you think about something, the more likely you are to remember it.

Most times tables games try to get children to answer simple questions like ‘what is 3 x 6?’ many, many times. The problem with this approach is it aims to get children to answer with the minimum of thought. So it’s no wonder children have to answer them thousands of times before they remember the answers. Many get bored and switch off before the memory sticks. Some children get anxious when they don’t know the answers, and research also shows feeling anxious is not a great way to make memories.

Stick and Split has been carefully designed to encourage children to think much more about multiplication and division facts. There are no right or wrong answers, so it won’t induce anxiety. Instead they need to be constantly thinking what they need to do. The more they think, the more they remember.

Reasons you’ll love Stick and Split:
