Jump into multiplication basics with a charming cast of squirrels. This game combines hands-on problem-solving with engaging storylines, helping students stay focused and motivated. By blending entertainment and practice, it reduces the need for repeated drills—freeing you up to circulate, observe, and support individual learners.
Math Games for Grades 6–8
Sammie’s Salvage Co.
Take math underground—literally! Students use coordinate pairs to move their trusty robot, BoXY, across the plane, unearthing hidden treasures. Through this immersive experience, they’ll solidify their knowledge of coordinates, quadrants, and reflections. This practical application cuts down on worksheets and lectures, allowing you to step back and give personalized feedback.
Shapeville Build and Learn
Turn geometry into a city-building adventure! Students design 3D buildings by calculating surface areas, manipulating shapes, and discovering spatial reasoning. Instead of juggling multiple geometry handouts, you can rely on this creative puzzle-based approach to keep students engaged, making your lesson planning more streamlined and efficient.
Algebraic Monkey
Sharpen your linear equation skills with Sun Wukong, the legendary Monkey King! In this playful setting, students learn to set up and solve equations, defending precious peaches from mischievous monsters. Interactive storytelling means less time lost on re-explaining algebraic procedures—your class will pick up the fundamentals quickly, letting you focus on honing critical thinking and application.
Market Madness
Combine ratio and proportion lessons with a lively shopping spree! Students help Kitty Klerk restock shelves using real-world math scenarios. By framing these concepts within a fun market environment, you’ll minimize confusion around ratios, giving you more freedom to provide one-on-one support or move on to more advanced topics.
