Hands On Games

One of best, and the most fun, ways to practice our math skills is with hands on math games. I’ll be posting many of the games we’ve already played in class so everyone should be familiar with them and eager to teach their parents or siblings how to play!
These games will require dice and/or a deck of cards to play, so if you already have them, great! If you’re like most of us and don’t, please try to borrow or buy some to use. Here is a template to make your own dice Paper Dice Template which is also an option. Games will require counters as well, but anything from coins to rocks can be used. Be creative!

Clear+the+Board
Connect Four Addition
DoublesPlusOneBingo
Roll Climb and Slide along with Roll Climb and Slide Sheet
Sink or Swim
Start with your counter on the start bubble. Roll 2 dice and add them together. If the answer is even, move up towards RESCUED, if the answer is odd, move down towards EATEN.

If you don’t have access to a printer, please continue using the online Math Games posted under the MATH tab and I’ve put links to some favourites right under the MATH tab under Math Games!
