A student uses the tongs to put a serving of salad on a paper plate. Then, using the numbers on his salad ingredients, he writes on his paper the problem and solves it. To incorporate more than one math operation and add fun practice at the same time, design a maze according to the skill level of those playing. In these mazes, students do math along the way. However, the object is to reach the END square with the correct answer.
End results can also vary depending on the number chosen for the outcome.
As the student draws his monster, he refers to the form to find out how may arms, feet, noses, and so on his monster should have. This game can be played in partners or against the teacher up at the board. The game can also be made more complex for higher grade levels. Near one end of the chalkboard, draw a large star. Ask one volunteer to sit in the hot seat with his back to the chalkboard and ask another volunteer to be the recorder.
