Solve arithmetic problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication with fractions, decimals, and negative numbers) tied to an animal-themed digital escape room accessed via an external link (Genially).
Students circulate to 10 stations, solving riddles that require finding 4-digit (one 3-digit) numbers meeting stated divisibility rules to open combination locks, then solve a final riddle/poem to determine the escape code.
Students play bingo by finding called numbers or shapes on their board and marking/covering them until getting 5-in-a-row or a full board.
Continue and conclude the knight's-quest narrative through four puzzle activities (Tree Guard, Dragon Eggs, The Mirror, Ghost) plus an extra-time activity, solving multiplication/division and riddle-based puzzles (e.g. identifying multiples of 3-digit numbers) to find the final dragon.
Students fill in numbers 1-16 in random order on a 4x4 bingo board; the teacher reads out math clues (from the provided clue sets) one at a time, and students mark the answer number on their board, aiming for a bingo.
Students click a shared link to access an external digital escape room activity (content not included in this PDF), and/or complete printed quizzes converting expanded-form sums (e.g. 40+8+0.5+0.02+0.003) into standard decimal numbers.
Use bingo cards with numbers 1-10 and card markers (counters/chips/stickers) to play bingo as numbers are called.
Use a dabber/bingo marker to dab the correct dot number, count and dab the matching number of gumballs, and dab circles in a tens table.
Students are given a preprinted bingo card of 16 answers; the teacher projects/reads addition and subtraction problems one at a time and students mark the matching answer on their card until a pattern is completed.
Draw a subtraction fact card, answer it correctly to earn a die roll, and move a place marker along the game board; first to finish/blackout wins.
Two players take turns rolling dice and covering the corresponding number on their own tree-shaped game board (filled with scattered numbers); first player to cover their whole tree wins.
Play whiteboard strategy games with a partner (dash-elimination games, the L-game), solve the Number Tree puzzle by placing numbers so each branch's sum works out, and study/simulate the Towers of Hanoi puzzle (including via pseudocode and optional Excel/Python), reflecting on the 'what you may have noticed' questions after each activity.
Students make their own 4x4 bingo board, fill in random pre-given answers, solve fraction addition/subtraction problems shown one at a time on the projected slides, show their work on paper, and mark matching answers until someone gets bingo.
Flip over two cards at a time to find pairs of numbers that total 10 (using tens-frame cards); keep matched pairs, and the player with the most pairs at the end wins.
Two players take turns rolling dice and coloring the corresponding number on their own apple-shaped game board (filled with scattered numbers); first player to color their whole apple wins.
On worksheets, write 3 different ways to show a given number on the scoops of an ice cream cone. In the game, players draw ice cream 'scoop' cards from a container and match them to cones representing the same number (shown as a numeral, tally marks, an addition/subtraction equation, or a word); the first player to fill a cone with 7…
Students view or draw a number card and ask yes/no questions about the number's properties (e.g. decimal expansion) to guess which number a partner or teacher is holding, eliminating candidate numbers on a board as they go; alternately, students fill in blank cards with a number's properties for extra practice.
Roll the die and cover the number landed on (using a manipulative, implied), repeating until every number on the strip is covered.
Two players take turns rolling dice and coloring the corresponding number on their own leaf-shaped game board (filled with scattered numbers); first player to color their whole leaf wins.
The Royal Numbers Game + Worksheets is a fun way to give your little learners practice with numbers up to 25. They will identify which number comes at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of a sequence.
In pairs, each roll a die twice to get two numbers, form an improper fraction from them, convert it to a mixed number, compare it to their partner's mixed number (finding a common denominator if whole numbers match), and score a point for the larger number; first to five points wins.
Student draws a set number of digit cards from a deck, writes the drawn digits into boxes, and then uses those digits to build numbers satisfying a list of prompts, e.g. 'the smallest number', 'a number less than 30,000', 'a number with a 3 in the hundreds place', 'a number that rounds to 90'.
Each player spins a spinner twice, adds or subtracts the two numbers, and crosses out a matching number on their grid; first to get three crossed-out numbers in a row wins.
Choose a numbered question, use the doubling-and-halving strategy to mentally find the product and say it aloud, click 'Check Answer', then spin an on-screen spinner to earn points if correct; play for up to four players.
