Kindergarten Math Games
When I taught fourth grade, I loved playing math games with my class. In kindergarten, math games that are both independent and not too competitive are a little trickier to find. One of my favorites is called Q-Bitz. It works on spatial reasoning, strategy, and patterning. I will usually make it a rotation because 10-15 minutes is usually perfect timing for this game. It also is a game that doesn't have to be "finished" or "won" so it's easy to stop and move onto the next rotation.

Believe it or not, this game is also a favorite of my pre-algebra kiddos. However, we do add the competitive element by seeing who can create the pattern first!
ReplyDeleteAfter studying the heart last week, Marisa said the funniest darn thing in the car to me last week on the way home from school. "Mom, I don't know who has been tricking me, it wasn't you, Daddy, or my teachers. I'm not sure who was tricking me all this time, but our heart isn't shaped like a heart!"
ReplyDeleteI love that! Marisa has the best one liners sometimes :)
