Snooker Investigation

Given the width and height of a snooker table can you predict which pocket the ball will end up in and how many times will it bounce off one of the sides?

Learning the sequence of doubling numbers (powers of two) is a worthwhile pursuit for children of all ages. This game is lots of fun to play, does not require the player to already know the doubling sequence, but presents the numbers in context and in a way that will help the child learn and recognise them.

Play the game little and often! Do not spend hours and hours playing but do spend ten minutes every day working to improve your score. Your personal best score is shown at the top right of the screen and this provides a target for you to try and beat. Earn trophies as you achieve the high score tiles.

Enjoy playing the game and learning more mathematics as you do.

"Thanks very much for this one. We developed it into a whole lesson and I borrowed some hats from the drama department to add to the fun!"

Comment recorded on the 14 September 'Starter of the Day' page by Trish Bailey, Kingstone School:

"This is a great memory aid which could be used for formulae or key facts etc - in any subject area. The PICTURE is such an aid to remembering where each number or group of numbers is - my pupils love it!
Thanks"

"Keep in mind you can achieve numbers higher than 2048 I have actually managed to reach 4096. The language used on the webpage implies the game ends after reaching 2048 and trophies aren't tracked for numbers higher than 2048 and this all irks me."

"Keep in mind, you can get 128 by random swipes, but that is quickly game over."
