DON'T YOU JUST LOVE A GOOD MATH GAME?

Who doesn't love a good math game? Whether you are using it to deepen your students' understanding of a previously taught concept, or to introduce a new skill, math games are fun and an invaluable part of any teacher's math tool kit. Here are several new games that I have added to my math repertoire, that I have found from stalking browsing teacher blogs, as well as one of my own that I use in conjunction with addition. Sum It Up is an oldie, but a goodie! Hope you find them useful!

Playing with a partner, students roll a set of dice, adding up the sum of their roll. The sum is coloured in on the recording sheet. A turn is missed, if that particular sum has already been rolled. The winner is the player who has each sum coloured in first.
