Description

Target Boards are usually 6 x 4 Grids, each containing a selection of numbers chosen for a particular purpose – either size or properties. They can be used for a wide range of purposes, especially calculation and reasoning. They are particularly helpful in the development of mental strategies, as specific boards can be created for the purpose of teaching and practising a given strategy. Other boards are filled with a general range of numbers, allowing any strategy to be rehearsed, or other questions to be asked which develop children’s reasoning skills.
