You’re going to find that the games in this bundle are perfect for having your students practice math concepts, whether you’re teaching in person, virtually, or doing a hybrid of both.

How does the digital game work?

Each game includes illustrated, step by step instructions and because the format of each game is similar, once students can play one game, they can play them all. Students place the game marker on the game and slide the die cover up to the monster to reveal the amount of their first ‘roll’. They move their marker that amount of spaces and record the answer to the problem they land on – just like a regular board game. Two recording sheets are included for students playing in pairs.

How does the ‘emailable’ game work?

In the pack, you’ll find a PDF ‘emailable’ game to match each google slide game. Step by step instructions are included to show students and their parents how to make a game counter (adult help will be required initially). Students will just require a coin to move – heads move 2 spaces, tails move 5. Students click in the editable field and type in their answers. A black ink game is included for parents wishing to print out the game or for teachers wanting to send it home.

Using the printable math center games

Inside the pack, you’ll find two different formats for the classroom math center game inside. One format is quarter-sized (to fit in photo cases) and the other is half-sized (1/2 8.5" x 11"). If your students have vision or fine motor difficulties, it is recommended to use the larger sized paper for the center. 

The game design for each center is consistent to encourage independence. The recording sheets will differ.

Terms of Use

These games are for single classroom use. Teachers may send the games home to students, either in printed or digital format. The games are not to be placed on any platform that is not secure, for example, if a site doesn’t require a password to access it, it is not secure.
