I created this board game to give my 2nd grade students review of 3D shapes. They travel through space, trying to make it back to earth. This game supports sol 2.13, identify, describe, compare, and contrast plane and solid figures (circles/spheres, squares/cubes, and rectangles/rectangular prisms. Before playing this game, my students completed activities using manipulatives to identify solid shapes, the number of vertices, edges, and faces, and traced the faces of the cube and rectangular prism in order to build understanding of the relationship between plane and solid figures. My students played this game in small groups of 3-5 students. They take turns rolling a die, jump to the number rolled, and answer the question in the box they land on. My students love to play board games! As a result, they are more attentive and motivated to learn.

My students need lots of practice to master addition with regrouping, so I created this fun game to help them practice. This activity supports sol 3.3b, create and solve single-step and multi-step practical problems involving sums or differences of two whole numbers, each 9,999 or less. The students make a big circle around the room and play a cakewalk style game. When the teacher stops the music, they sit in front of the closest card and add the two numbers. Students use their knowledge of place value and estimation to determine if their answer is reasonable. I created this activity during the week of Halloween so the pumpkins were a big hit with my students who really enjoy movement activities.

This is a remix of Alike or Different Game from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/515. The purpose of this activity is to give students practice classifying objects according to one attribute to support sol K.12. The teacher gives each student an object. They travel the room with their hand raised to find another student to compare their object with. They compare to see if the object is alike or different and how (color, size, shape, thickness). They trade objects and travel the room to find someone else to compare with.

I created this game as a review for my students. It’s an engaging way to practice sol 3.2a, name and write fractions (proper and improper) and mixed numbers represented by a model, sol 3.2b, represent fractions and mixed numbers with models and symbols, and sol 3.5, add and subtract fractions. In this 5-round game, students work in small groups cooperatively. After each round is completed, the student takes the recording sheet to the teacher to be checked. Students shoot a small ball into a trash can, laundry basket, or bucket from lines taped on the floor to earn points for their team. Team games such as this one motivates my students to learn and helps them take responsibility for their learning.

This is a remix of Goody Bags from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/1113. This lesson is about about counting a set of objects and writing the number. The purpose of this task is to give students practice counting 20 or fewer objects orally and writing the number that matches how many they count from each bag or bucket to support sol K.1a and K.1b. Students will play Count the Room game with a partner. I often have my students work with a partner because it encourages more engagement and increases individual achievement compared to students working alone.

I created this game to give my students a fun way to practice multiplication! 3rd grade students should participate in meaningful activities to develop an understanding of multiplication and become fluent with their multiplication facts. This activity supports sol 3.4c, demonstrate fluency with multiplication facts of 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 and sol 3.4a, represent multiplication and division through 10 × 10, using a variety of approaches and models. The students make a big circle around the room and play a cakewalk style game and draw pictorial models. This game should be played after students have had experiences in the classroom working with manipulatives to practice the different approaches and strategies for multiplication. Movement is an effective way for students to learn and I can easily assess them while they play the game. My students love this game and ask to play it all the time!

I created this game to give my students practice using skip counting, equal groups, repeated addition, and arrays to find the product of a multiplication problem. It is an engaging way to practice sol 3.4a, represent multiplication and division through 10 x 10, using a variety of approaches and models. In this 4-round game, students work in small groups cooperatively. After each round is completed, the student takes the recording sheet to the teacher to be checked. Students shoot a small ball into a trash can, laundry basket, or bucket from lines taped on the floor to earn points for their team. My students are more motivated during team games such as this one. It is a great way for students to work together to practice what they have learned.

This is a remix of Ordering 4-Digit Numbers from Illustrative Mathematics, https://tasks.illustrativemathematics.org/content-standards/tasks/459. The lesson is about ordering a set of 3-digit and 4-digit numbers. The purpose of this task is for students to practice ordering numbers from least to greatest and greatest to least to help support sol 3.1c. Students will play Race to Order Numbers Game in cooperative groups of 3 or 4 with different levels of ability. Cooperative learning is a great strategy that maximizes student learning. Students work together to order numbers that are displayed on the smartboard. Alternatively, if the teacher does not have a smartboard available, he/she can write the numbers on the board. Before playing this game, students need to have knowledge of place value.

Perimeter with missing sides is a skill that my students need lots of practice with. After we practice together, measuring around a polygon, I have them practice finding the perimeter by playing this game, Perimeter with Missing Sides Game. The game was made with Google Slides so it can be played whole group or assigned in Google Classroom for students to work on individually. This game supports sol 3.8a, measuring the distance around a polygon in order to determine its perimeter using U.S. Customary and metric units. I created this game in order to give my students fun practice in a virtual setting but I’m able to use it with both in person and virtual students.

I created this game to give my students a fun way to practice the place of a digit in a number. This activity supports sol 3.1a, read, write, and identify the value of each digit in a six-digit whole number, with and without models. Before the game, I bring my students up front on the carpet. I write numbers in a large place value chart and have the students take turns to tell the place of a digit in the number. Next, students return to their desk and the teacher gives the students a card with a large number and questions about the number. Students travel the room to quiz each other about the place of each digit in the number. This type of activity boosts student learning because it involves movement and students give each other feedback about their responses to the questions.
