Mental Math, Series II : Two Complete Games Using Mental Math Brain Skills

This game has been tried in classrooms in many different geographic areas. It only takes a minute to explain and the fun will continue all year long. This set of two complete games using mental math brain skills is designed for advanced students in middle grades. These games include powers and square roots and use double digit mental arithmetic. The two different games include using 34 random numbers from 3 to 144 in one game, and 35 random numbers from 1 to 1000 in the other. The games are not interchangeable. The cards are read in around-reading style. Each card has the answer to another's question, along with a new mental math problem to be solved. The entire class can answer or each individual student answers his/her own problem. The activity continues until all the cards are read. Graph the results and watch their mental math brain skills improve! Included is a listing of all the problems, with answers for each deck to facilitate the teacher's reading and timing of the games.
