The attached PowerPoint slides are designed to practice numbers in French (though you could easily adapt them to Spanish or German). I made them in the hope of using them to reinforce the concept of number and be slightly more cognitively demanding in a mathematical manner while using the minimum language. (As ever, I am eternally grateful to
Joe Dale for showing me how to use triggers in PowerPoint slides in order to make these sorts of games possible.)

The games need only the numbers 0-10 and the names of the operations ( + - x = ) in French (or Spanish or German) to be taught first. Then lots of opportunity to practise the numbers is given, but in hopefully, a slightly more demanding way than just chanting numbers backwards and forwards. I've also included an explanation of how to do 'Maths karate'.
I am sure you can all think of your favourite maths/language-learning games and resources too and I would love to hear them. Among my favourites are the number fans and the counting bead stick, but also when I get a chance to use an interactive whiteboard
the ITPs from DCSF are wonderful (and free)!
And here are some nice little maths sites in French:

and my all time favourite
