Math Games


I Have ... Who has? Games

I have ... who has? games are a favorite among my students.  If you're not familiar with the game, basically it is a group review game that can be played for many math skills.  To play the game, you pass around cards to the students, until all of the cards are distributed.  One student begins by reading his or her card.  For example, he might say "I have 0.  Who has 3 times 5?"  Then the students must all figure out the product mentally and the student who has 15 will say, "I have 15!  Who has ..." and will read off the question on her card.  Play continues until all of the students have read their cards and it returns to the first student.  This is a fun team-building game that also helps with listening skills and mental math.  


I'm including here several of the games that I have made up.   Print each game onto card stock, and cut apart the cards.  (I laminate the cards before I cut them for longer use.)  There is a teacher answer key so that you can easily keep track of the game in case it derails a bit.  I store the games in ziploc bags.  This is useful to whip out when you have five or ten minutes to fill.  My students enjoy when I time them when they play.

Everyday Math Unit 2 Review Jeopardy

Download this interactive game to play with your class on your Smartboard or with a projector. I play this game with teams of students.  This game reviews addition, subtraction, place value, numerical comparisons, and word problems. I have students find their answers on dry erase slates for each question.

Fractions Review Jeopardy

I use this interactive Jeopardy style game on my Smartboard to help my students review the content from the fractions unit.  Topics covered include recognizing fractions as parts of a whole and parts of a set, equivalent fractions, ordering/comparing fractions, fraction word problems, and solving operations with fractions.
