PEDAGOGY:

This collection of math games makes it easy for you to supplement & enrich your second grade math curriculum. Your students can dig deeper into the concepts they have learned during the lessons and practice exercises provided by your curriculum through hands-on math modeling, movement, verbal communication, and problem solving.

Each game is research-based, student-centered, aligned to second grade math standards, tested in my second grade classroom, and then revised as needed to create a final product that gives your students a variety of opportunities to access engaging and challenging learning experiences. 

***************************************************************************

BOOSTING RIGOR:

Enrichment and rigor were top priority when these games were created. During the first years of my teaching career, I always felt frustrated by the lack of resources available for the unique learners in my classroom. We all have that handful of students who are able to quickly and accurately solve the problems provided by our district-adopted curriculum, and many “enrichment” resources we have on hand are simply extra sets of problems or busy work. Our learners deserve more, and are certainly capable of more.

This inspired me to begin designing resources that would meaningfully allow these advanced learners to deepen their understanding through highly-engaging learning opportunities. Each of the games in this collection includes suggestions for a challenge version of the game, making it easy to differentiate and meet their needs.

***************************************************************************

BUILDING STUDENT INDEPENDENCE:

These game cards are designed to promote student independence and self-directed learning. The format of each game card includes a consistent easy-to-read layout that gives students every detail they need to play successfully. Each game card includes:

★ Number of players

★ Objective (a standards-based goal for each game, along with ideas for making the game more challenging) 

★ Materials list (everything your students need to gather before playing)

★ Set-up instructions (how to arrange the playing space and how to determine who gets the first turn)

★ How to play (student-friendly instructions for playing and winning)

***************************************************************************

SAVING TIME:

Each game is designed to make your life as a teacher easy. Most games use common math manipulatives, while others have quick print-and-laminate game pieces that you can reuse year after year. For a closer look at the supplies needed for each game, scroll through the preview pages above.

***************************************************************************

UNIQUE FEATURES:

★ Designed to boost engagement, and make math fun through friendly competition.

★ Each game uses simple manipulatives which are listed in the preview.

★ Many games include movement, and are perfect for your active learners.

★ Both full-color and black-line masters are provided for your printing preferences.
