Description
Research shows that playing games as reinforcement to your lessons increases retention of those skills. We all learn from applying knowledge. Games are an opportunity for students to transfer what they have learned to a different environment. All that to say, kids love games and they are good for them! Math games often require quick thinking and recall of facts (aka mental math). In each chapter, the games progress in difficulty. A deck of cards and several dice can go a long way in playing math games. You will also create gameboards! A few additional supplies are listed and include graph paper, blank paper, dominoes, a ruler, various game tokens, and pencils. Pretty simple, eh? Set up and playing instructions are written very clearly, and you can always add your own spin to the games. They have fun names like Tax Collector, Great Escape and The Number That Must Not Be Named! This book would be useful to a classroom teacher, co-op group, as well as individual families. Includes 41 games. ~Sara
