The last 3 weeks of school are always hard since we are done with our math curriculum. I mean, we have to have covered almost everything by testing. In our old math book, we had unit tests that we used to review - but this time around we don't have the option.
Every year my class has the discussion of different games - Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, Connect 4, etc... From there they get into groups and design a board game that can work with many different cards and situations.
After they designed the boards, the kids created specific questions on 20 index cards for the review of the day. One day was all about Place Value and Rounding, another was on MultiDigit Multiplication, one on Long Division, and another on Fractions. Next week we still have more review with measurement, line plots, etc..
The kids get so excited to use their board games every day. They have full rein of using the colored counters for keeping track of their spaces. I also let them decide if they wanted to use money, dice, or spinners in their games. They are being responsible with keeping everything organized.
Do you have your kids create board games? I highly recommend it!
