M for Math Games

I've been reading this book

which has some awesome ideas for math games

My daughter's favorite so far is the Penny Toss

for the game you only need:

plain paper

pennies one for each player

and paper clips

the game consist on folding a plain paper in 8 sections,

then we chose eight numbers beween one and ten,

wrote the numbers in each section of the playing board (paper)

we sat on the bed, with the playing board in between us.

we took turns throwing the pennies at the game board,

when it lands on one of the numbers,

you take that many paper clips.

You throw a second time and collect more clips.

two thows for each player is all, at the beginning.

Then wecount our clips out loud to see who has the most.

Jessica had lots of fun counting her clips

as well as mine :)

and for extra practice, for higher number counting

we threw the penny more than twice

before we count who has the most clips

Is very fun, I hope you try it out :)

Enjoy!
