It’s Monday, February 11, 2019, and time for Math at in our Homeschooling classes. I would like to invite you to check out
Madras Mathematics . If you have used Madras Mathematics what did you think of it and why?
Madras Mathematics
Age Range: 9-18 (Grades 4-12, with parental supervision) This website offers instructions on how to play a variety of math games using materials you probably have around the house.
The games are challenging and fun. They require strategizing and critical thinking, while exercising math skills.
They include:
- Board and Counter Games – You’ll find ideas for using game board grids, chess pieces, game markers or counters and other materials to play games that teach and reinforce math skills without seeming like math — which is great for the mathphobics in the house.
- Coin Games – Use coins to learn about chance and probability.
- Domino Games — Find an ingenious use of a chess board and a set of dominoes to play the game, “Domineering.”
- Paper & Pencil Games — A variety of math games you can play with nothing more than a paper and pencil. Great for traveling in the car — or when waiting in line or at the dentist office.
- Paper & Scissor Game — This one requires strategy and manual dexterity.
In addition to the games listed, you will find links to other webpages containing math games your students may enjoy.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
