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 upper-elementary and middle school students, offering plenty of practice doing estimation and mental math with fractions. Or you might prefer last week’s game, featuring a classic two-player logic puzzle that develops strategic reasoning.
Or, if you’re reading this post later and missed those, there’s another great new game this week for you to play.
Check it out:
Why Does the Game Disappear?
For nearly five years now, I’ve posted a new math game every Monday.
But why does each game eventually disappear? 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 back during the pandemic, 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 a limited time, and by the time it goes down, several new posts have gone live.
That means you can learn a new game every week.
Look for each new post at the top of the Math Game Monday page:
Have fun playing math with your kids!
