This website offers instructions on how to play a variety of math games using materials you probably have around the house.
The games are challenging and fun. They require strategizing and critical thinking, while exercising math skills. They include:
- Board and Counter Games – You’ll find ideas for using game board grids, chess pieces, game markers or counters and other materials to play games that teach and reinforce math skills without seeming like math — which is great for the mathphobics in the house.
- Coin Games – Use coins to learn about chance and probability.
- Domino Games — Find an ingenious use of a chess board and a set of dominoes to play the game, “Domineering.”
- Paper & Pencil Games — A variety of math games you can play with nothing more than a paper and pencil. Great for traveling in the car — or when waiting in line or at the dentist office.
- Paper & Scissor Game — This one requires strategy and manual dexterity.
In addition to the games listed, you will find links to other webpages containing math games your students may enjoy.
