Friday Math Games

On Fridays, when our math lessons for the week are complete, we often play math games.  In our class, "Math Games," are any games that require higher order thinking skills, problem solving and strategic thinking.   During this time, students engaged in a variety of board games, card games and games of strategy. Some games are designed for individuals and others for cooperative learning. The students look forward to choosing favorite games and trying new ones each week.
