I originally created this for a family math night. We gave each family a set of cards and taught them these simple but fun games to use with the cards. This powerpoint includes simple games to reinforce math concepts like addition.

This powerpoint introduces the concept of growing patters. There is a hungry monster that adds food to his belly each level of the pattern. This was created for a 2nd grade class, but could be appropriate for other grades.

This powerpoint reviews the missing part ofr addition. Throughout the slide show, there are objects that are hiddent and students have to figure out the missing part. For example, there are 9 balls are together. You can see 5 of them, how many are in the bag?

This presentation is used to introduce the concept of repeating and growing patterns. It includes vocabulary terms, element and core.

This presentation tells the story of why we have standard measurement. The story is that long ago a carpenter was ordered to make a bed for the queen. The king told him to make it a certain number of feet and the carpenter did. The problem was that the king's feet and the carpenter's feet were different. This is great to introduce a measurement unit.

This jeopardy game is intended for a review of Chapter 2: Fact Strategies in Addition. Our 2nd grade curriculum is Scott Foresman however, this would be a good review for any curriculum dealing with fact strategies.

This powerpoint presentation uses a fish to compare numbers to 1,000. The fish eats the larger number.

This powerpoint is intended to introduce the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. It connects to the idea of a circus with multiple rings of activity. The slides at the beginning are teaching slides, the slides at the end are clipart that can be cut out, laminated, and magnetized to be used on the board to create your own problems.

Use a "4-in-a-Row" game board to help your students get to know each other! Students can take turns being the “Connection Captain” or assign it as a classroom job. Every morning, each student takes their labeled disc and uses it to respond to the connection question of the day. The “Connection Captain” informs the teacher which students are absent for the day based on which discs haven’t been used. Then they interpret the data for the class. Make sure to notice how much you have in common and
