Using the Math Board Game


Math Centers - This game is ideal for a math center activity. Have the children read the instructions themselves if
possible as this is a great reading comprehension activity.

Whole Class Game - Enlarge the game on a copier and it can be used as a whole class game. The class can sit in a
circle on the floor around the board and play in teams or the game board can be attached to a pin board or whiteboard.

Display on Smart Board - The game can be projected onto your smart board and the class can be broken into 2 or 4
teams to play.

Homework - This game is ideal for homework. It is a fun alternative to regular homework and parents can be involved in
playing the game with their children. This is really popular with the kids and the parents.

Fast Finisher - The game is a perfect activity for those children who finish their work early. It can be kept in a box of
games or on a shelf where the children can access it when they finish their work.

Peer Tutoring - These Board Games are a great activity for students to use to help each other. Pair a weaker student
with a stronger student so students can 'tutor' others.

Students as Teachers - A really worthwhile activity is to have children learn the game and then teach it to others.
Teaching others how to play is a great communication activity.

Buddy Class Activity - The game is ideal for a buddy class activity. Have the younger students 'teach' their older
buddies how to play the game.
