Dominoes: More Than a Game, It’ll Help You Get Better at Maths!

ORIGO Education

Every time you challenge your friends or family in a game of Monopoly, Yahtzee or even dominoes, you’re using maths! Studies even show that playing board games can boost your maths skills. Playing games is an ideal way to help children learn to overcome problems by applying core mathematical processes such as problem-solving and logic and reasoning. These important skills can be adapted to all branches of maths including algebra, number theory and geometry. Having a fun time while you learn is a win-win!

Tips to introduce gamified learning for maths

ORIGO Education

Teachers often struggle to make maths exciting in early learning, so some children can show a reluctance to engage in the subject from the start. This is one of the reasons why gamified learning techniques are increasingly being used to spark interest and build pathways to engage in maths, particularly for younger minds. Used the right way, gamified learning can enhance student focus, and provide the freedom for students to try, fail, and explore and discover.

Fractals are freaking fun!

ORIGO Education

Nature is filled with beauty – and mathematics! Let’s start with a little riddle. What do lightning, trees and snowflakes have in common? They’re all fractals! Nature is filled with fractals – they’re everywhere. A fractal can be thought of as a never-ending complex pattern that repeats itself at different scales. Fractals, found all around us, are a key mathematical theory. We all have an innate ability to recognise and detect patterns – for some it even soothes us.

Mathematics builds a strong foundation

ORIGO Education

Most of us take for granted the homes we live in are well built, with straight walls, windows that open and close smoothly, and a roof able to withstand the weather. If the architect has done their job, and the tradespeople have carried out the design requirements according to plan, all the various components of a home should work seamlessly together. And beneath the surface, all of those components have been put together perfectly because everyone working on the house used mathematics.

As we now explore the outer reaches of our solar system the concept of humans landing on Mars is now a genuine goal to achieve in our lifetime – critical to all of these monumental achievements has been the use of maths.

Mathematics is a critical part of our everyday lives. It allows people to complete everything from daily tasks, such as managing money and calculating travel time, to solving the most complex of engineering problems. Humankind has been using the truth of mathematics for thousands of years to survive, trade, construct and explain the world around us.
