Tips for Playing the Math Games:
-
Read the directions to the students and model how to play.
-
Be prepared with dice/spinner and game pieces for each player (paperclips, pencil top erasers, pieces from another game, etc.)
-
Every student should solve every problem – not just the person who rolls.
-
Create groups of 2-4 students. The lower number of students means the more focused students are while playing.
-
Remind students that the focus is not playing the game but that’s just an added bonus! The focus should be on practicing math skills.
-
Show students how to compare and discuss answers. Did you both get the same answer? If students get different answers, ask them to solve the problem using a different strategy or help coach each other through the problem.
