Elementary Math - math games, fun math games
This book contains simple game templates that you can customize with whatever math facts you are focusing on. Games include bingo, checkers, go fish, concentration/memory, war, and tic tac toe. The game cards are separated into fact families, so there are sets of 5's facts, 8's facts, etc. One card has the problem (5 x 7 =); another card has the product (35). Other charts show the problems and products together, arranged by number families. There are directions for assembling the games as well as variations for play.
You certainly could save the money on this book and make your own flashcards and game boards. There's nothing super fancy about the templates, but the real advantage is convenience. It's all right here in one easy to reproduce volume. If you have lots of time to find freebies online or to make your own, then you will think this book is a waste. But if you love being able to pull this book off the shelf and photocopy exactly what you need in minutes, then you'll find this book a lifesaver. I consider it a worthy purchase and a nice addition to our living math resources. If you want a book with more bells and whistles, look at 25 Super Cool Math Board Games.
