Book Reviews of Instant Math Games That Teach: 38 Hands-On Math Games
Book Review: Instant FUN with Math Games
Summary: 5 Stars
This book truly makes math fun while sneaking in some important math skills along the way. I first learned of this book at our state's local Math & Science Fair. A local charter school set up a few hands on booths "staffed" by their elementary grade students. All of the kids who attended ended up playing EVERY game on the table. They were that drawn to them.
After seeing that I quickly purchased my own copy and I can say I'm extremely glad that I did. There are 38 games divided into three groups:individual, two player or two or more players. Each game lists the skill or skills used or accomplished while playing the game. The cover says grades 2-5 but I found over ten games to use with Kindergarten and First grade students in our co-op. There are several games that I can slightly modify as well. This will be a book that I know I will use for several years and particularly as we move into the higher maths. The games are fun, educational and unique.
I was so inspired by this book and the reaction of my children and the children that I saw at the Math Fair, that we started a Math Games Co-op to run all summer playing games from this book.
