Hello, March! It's time for some St. Patrick's Day gold coin math games!
I'll bet you already have a stash of these deliciously engaging gold coins. What kid can resist them, right? If you don't have them, you can pick up a few packs at the dollar store. A few dollars worth will go a long way with these games. Plus, you can get double duty from these coins when you use them again in September for pirate games on Talk Like a Pirate Day.
All your students will need to play these games is gold coins and dice - no game boards, no cards! A few of the games also require a whiteboard and erasable marker, but your students can just use paper and pencil. If you'd prefer not to use the coins, two-sided counters or even pennies are perfect substitutes!
Here are the games in this free set:
* Roll and Give - addition, sums through 12
* Roll and Take - addition, sums through 12
* Shamrock Toss and Tally - counting, tallying to 50
* Away with the Coins - subtraction from six or less
* Toss Ten - combinations of ten
* Roll, Tally, Stack - addition sums through 12, tally marks
In this free file, you'll receive a task card/directions card for each of these six games.
I love using these games for March math rotations. Your students will have fun finding a new game or two each time they visit a center! Enjoy using them!
Games are an AWESOME way to keep our students actively practicing skills in math centers. Games are fun, so they'll want to play again and again (less of that "I'm finished! Now what do I do?" that we all dread hearing!)
Here are two more game sets your students will love! There are ten games in each set, and they all come in both color and ink-saving black/white. Click either picture for a closer look!
If you're looking for a wee bit more St. Paddy's Day math practice, here's a set of riddle cards for two-digit numbers. Can your students find Lucky's Magic Number? See the details at my TpT store, and download the preview for four free cards!
