Hi Manoj,

Do you ever wish you had more time in the classroom for fun math games? Do you want to play more games, but you're just not sure where to start?

Well I've got some fun new resources to share with you then!

A couple of my friends have hopped on my blog to share some helpful tips and resources with you. First, Alex shares 3 super simple ways to play more math games in class, along with some ideas for middle school.

Then Kristine shares why student created games will not only increase student buy-in, but will provide some amazing insights into student thinking and confidence levels for you as the teacher. Plus, you'll find a fantastic set of game templates that you can use for all grade levels!

I hope these are helpful for you this school year!


Incorporating More Game Time:

There are so many benefits to playing math games, but sometimes it can be hard to find time to fit it in. Plus, figuring out the logistics of setting it up, setting class expectations and managing behavior?? Read some ways Alex provides practice in the form of fun games.

>>3 Simple Ways to Play More Games in Math Class

Student Created Spinner Games:

Looking for a simple game to get started that is easily adaptable? Look no further! Kristine shares a simple idea and tons of ways to adapt it for different ages/grade levels.

>>Student Created Spinner Games + Game Templates


I hope you find some fun ideas here!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,

P.S. If you teach grades 3-6 and have students who are behind, struggling, have learning gaps or could just use some extra practice/review of math skills, check out Digital Math Games! This site includes interactive, self-checking online games for students to practice targeted math skills. >>START YOUR FREE TRIAL TODAY!
