Math Games

We celebrated filling our 3rd grade math chip bucket with a game day!  Students worked in small groups to play math games.  It was wonderful to hear all the strategies being shared among students.




Speaking of games, they are an excellent way to acquire and practice math and thinking skills. Kids are typically motivated to invest time and energy into learning the skills necessary to play the game.  They might not even realize that they are learning while having fun!  Many card and board games involve sequencing, visual clustering, logical reasoning and communication of ideas.  Some games you might consider playing as a family that will interesting are:  Battleship, card games, Chinese Checkers, Cribbage, Mankalah, Othello, Parcheesi and Connect Four.
