What's Included?
- Scarecrow Problems: Division Equations
- QR Codes: Multiplication Facts
- Line Them Up: Skip Counting
- Let’s Grow a Garden: Addition and Subtraction
- Jumpin’ Unicorns: Repeated Addition
- Grab It: Round to Nearest 100
- Fall Place Value Task Cards

- S’more Math: Geometry Game
S’more Math: Geometry
In this fall geometry game, students get to build a s'more while practicing with third grade geometry concepts. Each time a question is answered, they get to take a part of their s'more from the middle. The first person to finish building their s'more is the winner. Aligns with 3.G.1
Unicorn Jumpin’: Multiplication Repeated Addition
In this fall multiplication game, help the unicorns jump over the correct rainbows! Each unicorn matches up with a different rainbow based on the repeated addition equations on each card. Great practice for students just beginning to learn about multiplication strategies. Aligns with 3.OA.1
Line Them Up: Multiplication Skip Counting
In this fall skip counting game, students get in partners or small groups. There are two sets included so teams can race! Students have to line the cards up in order and be the first ones to lay down the finish cards signaling the end of the game. This is a self-checking game which is easy for students to play and self-correct when they make a mistake! I like using this for my students who are just learning to skip count as a way to reinforce the skip counting strategy. Aligns with 3.OA.1
Acorn Mix Up: Division Equations
In this fall division game, the acorns have gotten mixed up! Give each squirrel the acorn that belongs to them. This is great practice for students practicing solving basic division equations. Aligns with 3.OA.2
QR Codes: Multiplication Facts
In this fall multiplication facts game, students solve each card and use the QR Codes on each card to figure out the mystery phrases! Three included. This is good practice for students learning their multiplication facts and keeps students engaged while they try to figure out each mystery phrase! Aligns with 3.OA.7
Scarecrow Problems: Division Facts
In this fall division facts game, students lay out the division equation cards. They decide which are correct and which are not. They put a thumbs up or thumbs down next to each scarecrow to show which are correct. This is great error analysis practice for third graders! Aligns with 3.OA.2
Let’s Grow a Garden: Add & Subtract
In this fall addition and subtraction game, each time students answer question cards, they get to add part of their garden to their picture. They add a stem or flower top each time. The first person to answer six questions and fill up their garden wins the game! Great addition and subtraction practice. Aligns with 3.NBT.2
Apple Orchard: Round to the Nearest Ten
Uh Oh! In this fall rounding game, all of the apples have fallen off the trees in the apple orchard. Students put each apple on the correct tree it rounds to in the orchard. Great practice for rounding to the nearest 10 within 1000. Aligns with 3.NBT.1
Fall Place Value within 1000
In this fall place value game, students have to figure out the value of the place value blocks on each card. All cards have place value blocks that are valued within 1000. 30 cards included.
Grab It: Round to the Nearest 100
In this fall rounding game, Students lay out all of the kid cards holding rounding signs to the nearest hundred. Then, they flip over one sunflower card that shows a number. The students round the number to the nearest hundred and look for the answer on the floor. The first person to yell “Grab It!” and find the matching card wins that round. The person with the most cards at the end of the game wins! Aligns with 3.NBT.1
These games can be used for elementary children as a worksheet alternative, game printables, math stations, center rotations, math centers, in guided math, as enrichment or remediation, in small groups, as test prep, homework practice (take what you don’t finish home for homework), and so much more! These engaging math activities are made to be flexible so you can use them however you’d like in your classroom. Every game now has a recording sheet and answer key included!

- TEKS 3.4D: determine the total number of objects when equally-sized groups of objects are combined or arranged in arrays up to 10 by 10
- TEKS 3.4E: represent multiplication facts by using a variety of approaches such as repeated addition, equal-sized groups, arrays, area models, equal jumps on a number line, and skip counting
- TEKS 3.4F: recall facts to multiply up to 10 by 10 with automaticity and recall the corresponding division facts
- TEKS 3.4H: determine the number of objects in each group when a set of objects is partitioned into equal shares or a set of objects is shared equally
- TEKS 3.4J: determine a quotient using the relationship between multiplication and division
