I am always looking for fun new ways for my students to learn and practice math skills. I'd like to incorporate more board games into our time together to keep things fun and exciting. Though I included board games that are already math oriented, I also included some common board games that the students may have already played before, but never made a math connection to. We always relate what we are learning to things they do every day, and these games will just add to my examples. Some of the games may not have much of a math aspect to them on their own, but I'd like to add my own twist to them to make sure they do when we use them. For example, I'd like to use Twister to help with students who learn best through movement. I can adapt this game to many different topics just by placing sticky notes on the different circles with number values or specific math topics. This way, students are moving and solving problems or answering questions! Lastly, I added foam puzzle pieces. These will serve more than one purpose in my room. My room is very small, so instead of us sitting around a table, we sit on yoga mats on the floor. The puzzle pieces may give the students a bit more cushion than the yoga mats. I'd also like to use them to make a human size board game that I can adapt to many different topics. Lastly, I'd like to create dance mats out of them by putting four together and putting the numbers 0-9 on them. Students will then be given problems, and they will have to shuffle their feet on their mat so that they cover the numbers that represent their answer.
