Favorite Math Box games and activities
- Flash card memory. Use your flashcards to find matching pairs. 1+5 would match with 2+4 because they both have the sum of 6. You can play them face up at first. For a challenge mix in addition and subtraction. This game can be played alone or in a group.
- Match a ten Use the digit cards. Turn all of the cards face down. The object is to match a ten. 5 + 5, 4 + 6, or 1 + 3 + 6
- Difference War – Use the number cards and markers Each player flips one card. Find the difference between the two numbers. The person with the higher number gets to count out markers representing the difference. (Player one draws the number 4, player two draws the number 1, then player one would get to take 3 markers. 4-1=3) When all the cards are gone, add up all the markers. The player with the most markers wins.
- Fishing for tens – This game is similar to go fish. Use the number cards. Instead of making pairs the goal is to make tens.
- Roll a Hundred -- Start on one. Roll two dice. Move that number of spaces. How many rolls did it take you to get to 100? Play with a partner. Use the same board but two different markers. First one to 100 wins. Do you recognize any patterns?
- Greater than less than -- Use your greater than or less than spinner. Draw two number cards to make a two-digit number. Have a partner draw two cards to make a two-digit number. Spin the spinner. If it lands on greater than the person with the larger number writes the math expression on their paper. If it lands on less than the person with the smaller number writes the math expression on their paper. When all the cards are gone spin the spinner a final time. the winner is determined by whomever has the greater or fewer number of math expression on their paper.
- Race to a Dollar and Spend a Dollar
