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.
