Mathematics Game

For my math game, I created a number bond addition game that allows students to

practice creating number bonds and relating them to addition problems. This game was created

for a 1st-grade lesson that focuses on operations and algebraic thinking. As students play the

game they practice their addition and number bonding. If they want to get to the finish line the

fastest, students must answer the equation correctly. The equations are visual and meet the needs

of a variety of students in the class. To play the game, students will need to choose a game piece

and roll the dice. The game pieces can be substituted for other items around the classroom if the

students wish to use something else. To meet a student’s needs, counters may be used to assist

with solving the equation.
