There’s a new Math Game Monday this week.
Have your kids tried it yet?
This week’s game is one of my favorites for early elementary grades, a logic game that makes children think about numbers and strategy.
Or, if you’re reading this post later and missed that one, there’s another great new game this week for you to play.
Check it out:
Why Does the Game Disappear?
For nearly eight months now, I’ve posted a new math game every Monday.
But why does each game disappear after only one week month?
UPDATE: Beginning in May 2023, Math Game Monday posts will stay live for four weeks to give you more time to enjoy each new game.
Well, bookstores (especially the World’s-Largest-River store) don’t like it if I put too many book excerpts on my blog. And I’ve already posted more than 40 free math games that are always available.
So last year I started this series of temporary blog posts with playful math excerpts from my most popular books. Each Math Game Monday post is live for one week only, then it comes down and a new post goes up.
That means you can learn a new game or activity idea every week.
Look for each new post at the top of the Math Game Monday page:
Have fun playing math with your kids!

Denise Gaskins' Let's Play Math 
Playing math games is a fun and effective way to learn math concepts and skills. With Math Game Monday, you can turn every day into a math adventure! So grab a game and let the learning begin!
I found this blog very informative in the realm of making math fun while still being educational. I have found that my students are more interested and retain the information better when it is in a game mode. Monday’s can be tough for students, so why not make the end of the weekend and the beginning of a school week a bit more enticing by having a math game every Monday.
Games are great any day! I know many homeschoolers reserve Fridays as game days, since everyone is tired and ready for a break at the end of the week.
Math Game Monday sounds like such a fun and engaging way for kids to practice math each week! I love the idea of introducing a new game every Monday, encouraging logic, number sense, and strategy in early elementary students. It’s great that you’re giving readers more time to enjoy each game with the extended four-week window.
The temporary nature of the posts adds a bit of excitement too, creating anticipation for what’s coming next. It’s a smart way to provide fresh content and get kids excited about math regularly.
