      These activities are great to get more parents involved at home with their children's learning. The supplies needed to play these games makes it very easy to do at home. Great for ELL students because it helps equip parents with the same terms and activities being performed in class.
  •  
    Website provides a list of games that can be played at home or in school to reinforce basic math facts, fluency, and speed in recalling the facts. All games can be played with dice or playing cards.

Quick Math Facts with Dice - 1 views

    • Andrew Todd
       
      Provides a fun and engaging way for partners to work together in pairs of two while practicing math facts. Provides ELL and low English speaking students extra practice recalling math facts. Provides the group learning environment as well.,
    • Andrew Todd
       
      CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.5 Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2). CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.C.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 - 4 = 13 - 3 - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction
  •  
    Students roll dice and add, subtract, and multiply. Students will work together as a pair. When the dice are rolled, the first person to shout out the correct answer gets the point.

      CCSS.Math.Content.4.NBT.B.4 Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
    • Andrew Todd
       
      This game enforces fluency of adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers. It could be extended to the teaching of probablity, as every turn runs the risk of not rolling a 5 or a 1 (to continue playing) and requires players to regularly assess the chances of rolling a specific combination. This game gives ELL students and lower English speaking students lots of practice talking large math problems out in their heads as they keep track of each other's scores.
  •  
    Players roll dice one at a time and attempt to reach 10,000 points. Game works on mental math, probability, and representation of values based on abstract dice combinations

Maths Card Game - High Card - Addition - Edgalaxy - 1 views

    • Mary Miller
       
      1.OA.6 Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10.
    • Mary Miller
       
      This game can be adapted for whichever skills a particular student needs extra work on.  For example, you could multiply the cards rather than add if that is what needs worked on, but addition also works really well with the cards.  Students struggling could have half of the cards removed so they are only playing with a few numbers.  Then the rest of the deck could be added in as they advance and grow more confident.
  •  
    Use a deck of cards to create a fun addition game for students.

Math Games-Operation and Skills with Dice - 1 views

  • Operation skills with dice
    • Mary Miller
       
      Students who take a longer time to complete the activity could be given a number board with numbers one through ten on it, rather than one through sixteen.  This would save some time and allow slower students to finish at around the same time as the rest of the class.
    • Mary Miller
       
      3.OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
  •  
    This is a fun game that requires students to fill a number chart (1-16) with chips by rolling three dice and using the operations (add/subtract and multiply/divide) the numbers.  They try to fill all the numbers on the chart, but no number can be covered twice, so they have to think about which operations they are going to use on the dice they roll.

      ESL: Physical and visual aids in learning measurement will help ESL students retain measurement information. 
  •  
    "In first grade, students are developing their graphing skills. They're learning how to record, organize, and show data. Of course, all of that can get a little dry. To spice it up, form your own Olympics committee and host The Games, right in your own backyard! Appoint your child statistician, and collecting data and showing the results on a graph will be serious fun! Let the games begin!"
  •  
    In class I will share an AIMS version of some Olympic games for estimating and measuring that use a cotton ball shot put, straw javelin, and paper plate discus to practice these skills.

    If you have a child who is balking at fractions, a game of Common Denominator War can help! Finding the least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions is one of the basic skills needed to work with fractions. You can find the common denominator of two fractions by finding the smallest number that is a multiple of both of them (lowest common multiple). This activity will give children plenty of practice in figuring out the lowest common multiple of two numbers.

CLASSIC PRINTABLE BATTLESHIP GAME FOR STUDENTS - Edgalaxy - 0 views

  • it teaches students how to use acartesian planeand understand how to use co-ordinates on a grid.
    • Mary Miller
       
      This activity could be made more difficult by adding negative numbers and turning it into an actual plane (x and y axes).  For example, points would be identified as (-3,4) rather than A2
    • Mary Miller
       
      5.MD.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume. b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
  •  
    This activity is really great at reinforcing how to graph on an x and y axis.  It forms the foundations of charting numbers.

Number Line Addition and Subtraction - 1 views

    • Andrew Todd
       
      CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.B.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., and represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram
    • Andrew Todd
       
      This game could benefit those students who are struggling with the concept of adding and taking away from a number and how that changes the value of something. Particularly helpful for ELL students who might lose understanding in the translation. One way to extend this game would be to include positive and negative numbers to demonstrate how negative numbers work.
  •  
    Students roll a dice with -3 through +3 marked on the six sides. Students move forward or backward according to the dice. Game is over when student has reached a predetermined ending point.
