What’s the best way to use this board game? 

  • Math Centers or Stations
  • Whole Group Practice
  • Morning Work
  • Early Finisher Activities
  • Substitutes
  • Send home to engage students’ families

Tips for Playing this Math Game: 

  • 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.

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).

The best part? Your students will quickly learn the instructions to play the board game and will get right to work on playing (and practicing) their math skills. This resource is easy to use and requires very little prep. It’s also printer friendly so you’ll only use black ink!

Standard Covered:
5.OA.A.1 Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions, and evaluate expressions with these symbols.

★ Printer Friendly Resource! All pages are in black ink ONLY. If you are looking to add color, feel free to print on colorful cardstock.

    This resource really supported my students during their RTI grouping, it was so helpful to organize groups base on the standard. More so, students had more practice time, based on a math standard that was challenging for them. Students were so engaged that it was hard to transition to another activity. The math activity reinforced concepts learned on this standard and the activity was engaging. More so, students learned to collaborate and compete with each other in a mature way.

    Love this game for my students. It was however pretty difficult for my group of students. The problems were using higher numbers then I would typically use so preview before you buy to make sure it is appropriate for your group of students.
