Math Games

You may have asked your child recently, "What was your favorite part of the schol day?" I'm guessing that some of them may have answered "math games." During each unit of study, I teach our kids some games that help reinforce the concepts we are learning in class. We have learned how to play Nim and Poison; both games require you to develop strategies with numbers (Cameron has become our class expert). We played Addition Top-It to strengthen our addition facts and Name That Number to practice number equations and algebra. During this past week, I taught the kids how to play High Number Toss and Number Top-It; both games reinforce what we have learned about place value. Students - I've placed a poll in the sidebar of the blog for you to vote for your favorite math game. I'm interested to see how the results turn out!
