      CCSS.Math.Content.3.OA.A.3 Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem

      This activity is great for students who are struggling with the concept of division. The activity is especially helpful for students who need to visualize the statement before properly solving the problem. Again, these visual representations will make it easier for ELL and low performing English students to understand the concepts behind division. It could be extended by having students determine the number sentence from a story problem.

      C.C. Standard: 5.NF.1
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      Expansion: War games such as this could be used for multiplication and division facts as well.  
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      ESL: Cooperative learning, as well as repetition, will build student's confidence with math facts. 
  •  
    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.

  • Operation skills with dice

      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.

      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.

      Expansion: For older or particularly adept students, this could be a mental math game.  Students could be asked to flip over cards from a tens pile and a ones pile to allow for double digit numbers.   
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      ENL: Increased repetition of mathematical phrasing will give them practice with the vocaularly.  Students could be required to say the entire percentage phrase, for example "50% of 10 is 5," in order to earn their card.

      Expansion: By rewriting the scoring chart, this could be done with division too, or even addition and subtraction for younger grades. 
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      ENL: Math fact practice is valuable for every student.  Working in pairs, students can communicate and assist each other. 
  •  
    This two-player game is a fun way to practice multiplication facts! You'll use a pair of dice to determine the numbers you will multiply with. The product determines whether you've hit a single, double, triple, or home run! Help your third grader improve his confidence with multiplication by reviewing facts in this fun new way.

      Indiana State Standard: MA.5.3.1 2000 C.C. Standard: 6.EE.2
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      Expansion: As suggested by the activity, this can be used to add and subtract negative numbers, as well as more complex equations.  
    • Caitlin Ridley
       
      ENL: Practice and communication with peers will help ENL students understand the concepts of variables.  When paired with a peer who can translate, this allows for a peer to help them with the game.

    Games are a great way to ease your fifth grader's fear of new math concepts. Kids are always more willing to attempt a new skill when it's presented in a fun, non-threatening way! "The Amazing Equation Race" is an interactive, fast-paced game that will make your child feel more comfortable with simple equations. Although the terms "variable" and "equation" are unfamiliar now, a few rounds will turn them into household names.
