Strive for Success - Math (Classical Conversations)
/We had several fun games we played to review math with our friends. We set up a giant board game in the garage. The game tiles are actually the back of the cards we used for the Presidents day activity. One side had presidents and the other had a piece of construction paper on it. I one question from each week on the pieces with a wet erase marker.
To play the kids rolled the large dice, moved the number of places shown on the dice, then had to answer the math question on the square they landed on to move on. If they couldn't answer the question they lost a turn. We added a few fun pieces too (move ahead two, move back two, trade places.)
We also did a liquid equivalent relay race! I filled a kiddie pool with water and put it between each team. Each team had a teaspoon, tablespoon, ounce glass, one cup measuring cup, pint jar, quart jar, and gallon jar. They had to know how many times they needed to fill the next biggest jar, and fill it the correct number of times to get the next item. For example, 3 teaspoons equal one tablespoon so they had to run down three times to fill the tablespoon. Once the tablespoon was full they could take it back and begin filling the ounce glass, and so on. It was a lot to think through quickly, but they did great! We went through the whole thing once before beginning the relay race so everyone understood the rules.
