This blank Clever Catch enables you to make the questions and design the ball as needed for topics your students need help with most.

There are 44 spaces to create and write questions on this Clever Catch ball.

Toss the ball back and forth between at least two children and wherever the left thumb lands, is the problem or question to answer. The combinations of games and questions are endless and the learning never stops. As each child masters the questions on one ball, there is always another available to stretch the intellect and provide more practice.

PLEASE NOTE: We recommend not using a Blue wet erase marker, as it will leave a stain on the ball.

If you are new to the world of Roll and Write, then this game is probably the best place to start. Even if you're not new, you definitely need Ganz Schon Clever in your collection!

All you need to do is get yourself one of the paper score sheets, a pen or pencil, the six coloured dice provided and decide whether you want to play with others or solo! You are ready to begin!

All the dice are rolled and that player chooses three and checks off or marks on the numbers of the corresponding coloured dice. All other players now chose from the remaining dice one number to apply to their sheet.
Play then passes on clockwise and continues until all the rounds have been played. This differs according to player count.
So, what happens with the different coloured dice? Take the yellow and choose which number in the yellow grid to check off. The blue is the same, but it can only be marked off when totalled with the “wild” white die.
Mark off green, if it is higher than the last number, resetting at five. Orange allows you to write in which ever number is rolled, and the same goes for purple as long it’s higher than the last number written, this resets at six.
Special Abilities are unlocked when marking off or filling numbers. These can help you achieve more, and are brilliantly satisfying when they link, and trigger each other.

There is so much to do in Ganz Schon Clever. As a result, careful planning is needed in order to get the most out of each go, although not everything will be accomplished by the game end! So, choose wisely and have fun!

Book C in ther series covers: Ratio, Proportion, Mass, Time, Plane Shapes, Length, Area, Volume
Book D in the series covers: Algebra, Statistics, Probability

The Striving to Improve Series targets students who, for whatever reason, are struggling to keep up with their peers. The activities in the books are designed to prevent students from regressing any further at school. The tasks are based on a modified curriculum so that students can work at their own pace and without constant supervision from the teacher. There are also four literacy books in this series. Each section of the book provides students with the opportunity to consolidate written and mental methods of calculation, with an emphasis on process and understanding.

Fractions The section entitled Understanding Fractions enables students to re-encounter ideas of equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions, improper fraction, mixed numerals and comparing fractions. The section entitled Calculating With Fractions walks students through the four core calculations

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages The section entitled Skills With Decimals enables students to re-encounter ideas in decimal place value, calculations with decimals, comparing decimal quantities and rounding decimal amounts. The section entitled Fractions, Decimals And Percentages walks students through conversions between fractions, decimals and percentages. Students explore mental and written methods for performing conversion calculations. Attention is also given to real world applications and uses of these different representations, with an emphasis on understanding and using percentages.

Angles, Shapes and MensurationThe section entitled Angles enables students to review types of angles and naming angles. There is the opportunity to practise drawing angles and using angles within a context. Students then have the opportunity to investigate angles in a triangle and to also classify the different types of triangles. The section entitled Shapes And Mensuration familiarises students with units of length, mass and capacity and provides activities to consolidate unit conversions using mental strategies. The activities then move on to exploring perimeter and area of rectangles and triangles and allow for a thorough consolidation of these foundational concepts. Students then engage with simple volume and capacity ideas.

Integers The section entitled Understanding Integers enables students to re-encounter ideas of place value, rounding, estimation, factors, multiples and the concept of a directed number.The section entitled Calculating With Integers walks students through the four core calculations. Students explore addition and subtraction with two and three digit sums and can apply what they have learned to some real life application problems. Similarly, students explore the various levels of multiplication and division before applying them to a variety of applications.

These activities are a useful way to scaffold a new unit of Mathematics and will help build confidence for lower ability students to attempt more challenging problems. The activities are designed to guide student learning with minimal input from the teacher and there is a strong emphasis on process and understanding.The activities can be used for individual students needing further consolidation in a mainstream classroom or as instructional worksheets for a whole class of lower ability students.
