Introduction of 24 GAMES in classrooms |
Registration Card Due |

| In the Classroom | Classroom Competition | School Competition |
| The Game is designed for everyone aged 8 years and upward, and can be played at different levels. At the simplest level, use the 24 GAMES as a warm-up, and/or wind down for mental arithmetic in your class. 24 GAMES can also be used competitively by individuals or groups of students. And the patterns in the 24 GAMES make wonderful investigations. Order the Decimal, Algebra or other |
Assuming a maths class of 30, divide the class into five groups of six students.
Play the 24 GAMES for 15 -- 20 minutes according to the Games' rules.
The winners from each group then play off against each other to determine the
best player in the class. Set a date for the start of your School Competition.
We suggest no later than 24 April.
Post the Registration Card to ensure your school's involvement in the SHARP 24 CHALLENGE Regional Tournament. |
The winners from each class participate in a play off similar to that above, yet with the added challenge of the Decimal & Algebra Editions and the Double PUZZLE SLEEVES. The names of the best 24 GAME player from each of the levels: Years 5 -- 8 (formerly Standard 3 & 4 and Forms 1 & 2), are written on the Student Entry Card. Post the Student Entry Card to confirm your school's involvement in the SHARP 24 CHALLENGE Regional Tournament nearest your school. |
