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!
Standards Covered:
- 5.NBT.A.2 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.

Great resource I utilized when we had extra time at the end of class and during my intervention period with students who needed additional practice with these specific skills.

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.

I played this game with high school language learners. When they landed on a space, they had to read the expression and explain what it meant. For example, “Seven to the second means seven times seven.” This game made learning exponents and English engaging!

This was perfect to throw up on the board and let the students run through it. I had different rules for different classes and it ran flawlessly each time. Great resource, will be using again.
