Teaching focus:
The main focus of it is to provide a motivation for children to become familiar with the 100 chart and be able to develop strategies for locating numbers on it efficiently. There are two levels of difficulty - the easy level (shown in red) contains all of the numbers from 1 to 100; whereas the more difficult level (shown in blue) contains only the numbers on the top row (1-10) and in the first column (1, 11, 12...to 91). Other benefits of this game are that it encourages children to talk to each other, and strategise.
Rules:
The rules of the game are the same as a tradition game of battle-ships. Two players each take a gameboard. Each gameboard contains two grids. Each player places their battleships on one grid and uses the other grid to try to locate the other player's ships. The players take turn calling out numbers, if for example the player on the blue team calls out 58 and the player on the red team has to look to see if the number 58 on his or her grid has a part of a ship on it. If it does not he/she calls out "miss", if it does he/she calls out "hit" or "sink" if it is the last part of the battleship that has not been hit.
