Math Can Be Fun !
Math skills can be taught , practiced and reinforced in many different ways. There are a variety of alternatives to the big GED books and the giant lists of problems found in some workbooks. Math games and activities can be used in the GED classroom to engage students in the learning process while having fun. Worksheets can easily be modified, used in a variety of ways and turned into activities. Examples of this can be found throughout this booklet.
Following is a summary of an article from Steve Sugar on "Ten of the Very Best Reasons for Using Classroom Games". ( )
? Games are fun with a purpose. ? Games give the student and teacher immediate feedback. ? Games provide an environment that transforms the passive student into an active
part of the learning process. ? Games engage players and motivate them to interact with the topic. ? Games encourage collaborative learning and team work. ? Games accelerate the rate of learning. ? Games allow the teacher to be flexible and add variety to their lessons. ? Games can be customized to any size class, even one-on-one
General Game & Activity Ideas
1. One way of turning a worksheet into an activity is by playing MATHO.
Using the game sheet found on the following page, turn any worksheet into an activity. Write the answers to a worksheet (16 to 20 answers) on the board and have students copy the answers onto different squares on their game board. They then match the problem number on their worksheet with the answers on their game board by writing the answer in the circle.
Turn the worksheet into a game by having students work independently or in teams to be the first to get 4 matches in a row, column or diagonal or to be the first to match all the questions and answers.
2. Use index cards in a variety of ways
Write questions on one index card and the answers on another in a different color. Students may also want to do this part. In teams or independently, have students match questions with answers. They could also play "Concentration". Depending on the topic, the teacher could also deal out the questions or the answer cards to students and have them match orally. The first one to get rid of their cards wins.

3. Play I Have-Who Has This game can be played using a variety of different math topics. For example, to practice whole number computation and vocabulary, prepare index cards prior to the beginning of the activity. One card must be the "Begin Card", start with that one. The rest of the cards must follow using problems that include one or more of the basic functions and the answer to another. Each card must connect to another. For example: " Who has 10 x 10 ?" (this is the beginning card) " I have 100, who has 100/10 ?" "I have 10, who has 25 + 150 ?" ect.......ect.......ect...... This game is fun to play with a small group, but could also be used independently. The student could match the cards in a line on the table. Students may also want to make their own set of cards. The possibilities are endless.
