Measurement War
Submitted by Lacey
For customary measurement, we like to play measurement war.
I made playing cards with a variety of customary measurements (12 pints, 6 cups, 2 quarts, 5 gallons, etc.)
Students each have a pile of cards and flip one over at a time.
Whoever has the larger measurement gets to keep the cards. The winner is the student who gets all the cards in the end!
Collaborate with us to make this game even better. If you have used this math game before please comment below letting everyone know how it went and any recommendations or adaptations you would do or make to the game to help others play the game more effectively.
Some Questions to get the collaborating going:
- What age group is this best for or how could it be adapted for a different age?
- Could you help make it even more clear (so a child/student could understand it)?
- How can it be adapted to teach a different math skill?
Please comment and add anything to this post that you think would benefit others.
