Nintendo’s Maths research reminds us to always think in new ways about teaching.

Widely reported in traditional media, teachers are seeing their lessons become more effective when their kids regularly use Nintendo DS’ brain training exercise. Whilst this is fantastic PR for Nintendo, the results are a reminder to us in the teaching profession to keep innovating, looking for ways to make learning more fun.

Maths teachers have come in for a lot of flak recently, but there are some awesome resources out there which show teachers are thinking in deep and engaging ways to stimulate kids. Look at the amount of high quality teacher generated content on primary resources, and on our own companion site www.free-teaching-resources.co.uk.

The Nintendo research shows that using ICT can really help bring maths lessons to life, there’s a whole host of great material check out nrich, or this from maths is fun, as well as a whole host of other fantastic resources here for key stages 1-4.
