Tips for Playing Matching Math Games:
-
Print the puzzle pieces on cardstock or regular paper. If you are looking to use them for years, it’s worth the time to laminate them. Cut out the puzzle pieces and store in a labeled plastic baggie.
-
Create groups of 2-4 students. The lower number of students means the more focused students are while playing.
-
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.
Do your students need math practice? Students will be playing a game and will often forget that they are even practicing math skills! Research shows that challenge-based gamification in the classroom leads to an increase of 34.755% in student performance (ScienceDirect, 2020).
Supports Common Core Standards:
5.NBT.B.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
Teachers Like You Say This:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “These are great for small group! I love that they are self-checking, students know they must have the wrong answer if there isn’t a matching puzzle piece.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I have purchased the entire bundle and use these matching activities for every standard all year long. It’s a lifesaver for small group/independent work.”
