Addition & Subtraction: Math Games for Elementary Students (Math You Can Play)

Math Your Kids WANT To Do: Addition & Subtraction features 23 kid-tested games, offering a variety of challenges for elementary-age students. Your children can develop mental flexibility by playing with numbers, from basic math facts to the hundreds and beyond. Logic games build strategic thinking skills, and dice games give students hands-on experience with probability.

Chapters include:

• Tens and Teens: Master the concept of number bonds—the relationship between a whole number and the parts that combine to make it—and build a logical foundation for future math.
• Numbers to One Hundred: Develop mental math skills for working with larger numbers. Practice using place value, addition, and subtraction.
• Mixed Operations: Give mental muscles a workout with games that require number skills and logical thinking.
• Logic and Probability: Logic games sharpen inductive and deductive thinking skills, while games of chance build an intuition for probability.

If you are a parent, these games provide opportunities to enjoy quality time with your children. If you are a classroom teacher, use the games as warm-ups and learning center activities or for a relaxing review day at the end of a term. If you are a tutor or homeschooler, make games a regular feature in your lesson plans to build your students’ mental math skills.

So what are you waiting for? Clear off a table, grab a deck of cards, and let's play some math!
