Getting them to participate in a board game with Math as a basic concept might be tricky, but learning how to make Math board games fun and competitive is a strategy you can use. Here is a DIY addition and multiplication Math board game project you can try at home:. Step 1: If you have chosen to print out a template you can skip this step. Create a game board with 11 identical rows and columns, makes sure that all boxes are even in length and width.
Make sure to leave space on your cardboard for the scoring sheet. Step 2: On the edges of both row and column boxes, write the numbers 1 — Step 3: On the very middle of the identical boxes, 5 th row at the 5 th column, place the answer. If you are doing multiplication write 25 and if you are choosing to practice addition write 10 in the middle.
This will serve as the starting point of your game. Step 4: Choose a few random boxes to be considered as double points. Mark these boxes by coloring them it with the highlighter. Using a highlighter can enable you to color in the boxes while still leaving the space writable. Step 5: Roll out the dice and let the competition begin!
This DIY Math board game is a great way to practice both addition and multiplication skills. The first player rolls the dice and the number shown is how many squares away from the center you should count, making those squares available to be answered.
The score is equivalent to the answer given, so the harder the problem solved the higher the score. If the problem answered is on a highlighted square, the score is doubled but the answer written on the square should be the correct not doubled number.
When the player rolls the dice, the number rolled will determine how many spaces from the previously answered number he or she is allowed to answer. If the number rolled cannot be played on the game board, the player loses a turn. This will happen more often as the game progresses and more of the squares will be filled. Scores will be tallied at the side and the one with the most points wins the game!
