If you're a mathematics teacher looking for great interactive resources to be viewed on a digital device (such as an ipad or laptop) then here are a few of my recommendations.

## Best digital mathematics worksheet

There was one maths skill that I always wanted to create a scaffolded worksheet for but... until recently... it was just proving too tricky to create. 

I'm delighted to have finally published [dividing by a decimal](https://www.esheets.io/dividing-by-a-decimal/). As an experienced maths teacher I know that students struggle with:

- recognising equivalent divisions
- completing bus-stop division accurately

This scaffolded worksheet ensures that students have recognised the equivalent division first, before then providing colour-coded feedback as they complete their bus-stop method. [More worksheets here](https://www.esheets.io/tag/maths/)

## Best visual tool for mathematics

Since the release of Google Gemini 3 I am now definitely looking to expand and improve this section of the site, so feel free to [share your ideas and requirements](https://www.esheets.io/contact/). 

For now, I know that I frequently use the [3d object visualisation tool](https://www.esheets.io/3d-object-visualisation-tool/) for helping students explore concepts such as surface area and volume. But there are plenty of others, such as the [Loci tool](https://www.esheets.io/loci-demonstration/), [alegabra scales](https://www.esheets.io/algebra-balancing-tool/) and an [interactive version of Perigal's dissection](https://www.esheets.io/perigals-dissection/).

## Best single-player mathematics puzzles

For many years I had always said that someone should make a logic puzzle where students have to create a classroom seating plan for themselves. With all the requests and limitations, it is a problem quite similar to planning the seating at a wedding.

And so the [animal school seating plan puzzle](https://www.esheets.io/animal-school-seating-plan/) was born. All the characters in the game are animals with different requirements (e.g. the mole needs to sit at the front due to poor eyesight). Of all the puzzles and games I've ever made, this is definitely the one that I see students choosing to revisit with enthusiam.

Runners up? [Escape from Pentades](https://www.esheets.io/escape-from-pentades/) (grade 3/4) and the sequel [The Elves of Edxcel](https://www.esheets.io/the-elves-of-edexcel/) (grade 7) make great text-based mathematical adventure games.

## Best two-player maths games

There's over 20 different [two-player maths games](https://www.esheets.io/tag/battles/) on our battles page.

My favourite maths logic game is [Ultimate Tic Tac Toe](https://www.esheets.io/ultimate-noughts-and-crosses/). It takes a simple but familiar game and adds just enough complexity to make it worth repeat visits. You can also [play Ultimate Noughts and Crosses online on separate devices](https://battles.esheets.io/?ref=esheets.io).

Other favourites? While I'm personally not a big fan, you can [play dandelions online](https://www.esheets.io/dandelions/) too. My experience is that the wind always wins, but I'm told that dandelions favour the more proficient player. Maybe I just haven't played it enough!

## Best multiplayer maths games

[Maths Melee](https://melee.esheets.io/?ref=esheets.io) has similar game features to other popular educational games such as Blooket, Kahoot and The Pirate Game. There are 7 different sets of maths questions and when students answer correctly they are given the choice to either bank their points or to take a gamble. Random prizes include shields, mirrors, and gifts... but beware that there are also negative events such as storms, daggers and thefts.

In my experience, it is a fun and interactive way to keep the maths learning going during potentially difficult lessons late on a Friday afternoon.

Happy gaming!
