Cheese Chasers!
Main page | Teaching resources
The 2009 Cheese Chaser Championships has begun!
Cheese
Chasers (if you already didn’t know) is a free game from burnttoastpublishing.com.
Simply
download the files to your computer and make your own set!
Already
my maths set have been introduced to the rules of the game and have been
furiously trying to get the best high score!
The
object of the game is simple. Get out all your mice, stop the mousetraps
activating, avoid the cats and grab the cheese!
If
you manage to put out all the tiles without having three mousetraps activated
in the process, you get a score. But you must place each tile so it touches the
previously placed tile.
A
mouse is ‘active’ if it is not next to a cat.
1
point for every active mouse.
1
point for every active mouse next to a cheese.
+10
points for a cheese surrounded by four active mice.
(The
bonus is +20 for each cheese if cheeses touch and they are all surrounded.)
Full
rules are available from burnttoastpublishing.com.
So
far, we have been playing to get the best score in the class.
And
playing a ‘cheat version’ where we are trying to find out what the best
possible score is by placing tiles wherever you want.
I
will reveal this season’s champions soon… J
