Introduction
Welcome to One-Page Math Games! These 30 games target the math skills that students in
grades 2–3 need to master—place value, addition, subtraction, money, and more.
I created this collection of games because I love math! It’s my hope to show children that math can
be fun and exciting. I also love organization and simplicity. These easy-to-prepare activities consist of
one-page reproducible game boards and all use common manipulatives. The games come with clear
directions that students can follow independently. They also lend themselves to many different uses.
I’ve had the most success using them for centers and for homework.
Please enjoy the games as much as my students and I do!
					 –Lory Evans
For Centers
To manage the centers, I label a three-drawer container for supplies—transparent
game markers in various colors, plastic transparent spinners, and number
cubes—and use a vertical, three-tier desk organizer to house files with class sets
of up to three different game boards. I begin with one game. Then each week, I
introduce a new game that is applicable to our math topic, adding it to the front
of the organizer. The older games rotate back one by one until students have had
three weeks to play the game and master the concept. Then the game retires to my
file cabinet until next year (or may appear again briefly for a quick review at the
end of the year or to provide fast finishers with some meaningful skills practice.)

Game materials are
already in most
classrooms.
Game boards
contain art with
plenty of kid-appeal.

SKILL:
Even & Odd
MATERIALS
• game board
• 1 number cube
• 2 game markers
(1 for each player)
DIRECTIONS
1 	Players each choose an animal to play The cat needs
even numbers to move The dog needs odd numbers
2 	Players 1 and 2 take turns
3 	Roll the number cube If you get the kind of number
you need move 1 space toward home
4 	The first player to reach home wins
Each skill is easy
to identify.
Directions are
simple and clear.

Each week students are invited to
practice their math skills with three
games, during which partners are
able to discuss their problem-solving
strategies, use math vocabulary, and
provide additional peer support and
techniques.
For Homework
To send the games home, simply
photocopy the game and relevant
manipulatives. Give family members
the option to use cereal, coins, or
small objects as markers. When the
game uses a spinner, be sure to clip a
paper clip to the top of the game before
sending home, and include a copy of
How to Use the Spinner on page 40.
Using these games as homework is a
fun way to involve family members with
the curriculum. Parents and caregivers
can quickly observe their child’s
understanding or lack of understanding
and offer their support in a positive way.
Materials
We have provided reproducible versions
of many of the manipulatives called for in
the games (see pages 40–48). However,
you will likely have many of them on hand
already. Here is a list of materials the
games use:
1–3 number cubes
2–30 game markers (preferably
transparent and/or in 2 different colors)
spinner
paper clip
TIPS
To use the games over and over again, copy the
games onto colorful cardstock and laminate them
for durability.
After laminating the game, you may want to
prepare a spinner by pushing a brad through
the center of its space on the board. Then clip a
paper clip to the game board for students to place
around the brad.
It’s best to use transparent game markers in
two different colors. For games where students
must remove a game marker or may replace an
opponent’s marker, the transparent playing pieces
enable students to see the numbers on the game
board. Using two different colors allows them
to keep track of which pieces each student has
played during the game.
At the beginning of each school year, consider
filling several zippered plastic bags with a
transparent spinner, some transparent game
markers, and 2–3 number cubes that students
can check out to use all year long.

CONNECTIONS TO MATH STANDARDS
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has proposed what teachers should provide for their
students to become proficient in mathematics. To learn more about the NCTM standards, visit the
Web site: http://standards.nctm.org. For additional information about NCTM and to learn more about
the topics and benchmarks within each math standard, read Principles and Standards for School
Mathematics from the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics, 2000.
The recent Common Core State Standards have also put forth guidance for what are the most
important skills for students to learn at the different grade levels. To become more familiar with the
math portion of these standards, visit the CCSS Web site: www.corestandards.org.
For a quick overview of how this book can support your efforts to meet math standards, see the grids
on pages 8 and 9.
Easy Ways to Adapt the Games
Here are tips for easy ways to adapt some of the games.
Games 1  2: Use the blank 8-space spinner
on page 40 to write in new numbers. For
another twist, fill in the stars or balloons with
numbers. Students can find a number on the
board that is “less than” or “greater than” the
one they spin, depending on the game.
Games 7  8: Copy the circles on page 41
(use numbers 2–12) to place different numbers
over the existing numbers. You may also
encourage students to roll 3 number cubes
(if so, use numbers 3–18 on page 41).
Games 9  10: Copy the squares on page
40 to place different numbers over the existing
numbers. Use numbers 4–9 with game 9 and
numbers 2–7 with game 10.
Games 11  12: Copy the digital times on
page 46 to place over the analog clocks. (In
Game 11 use only times ending in “:15” or
“:45.”)
Games 13: For an extra challenge, use the
blank 8-space spinner on page 40 to replace
numbers 1–4 with greater numbers.
Game 16: Use the blank 8-space spinner on
page 40 to write in different shapes. Copy the
shapes on page 47 to change the grid layout.
Game 17: To revise the bar graph, copy the
strips of different animals and/or the blank strips
on page 45. Be sure to replace the squares
in the player rows with the numbers 0–3 as
necessary.
Game 18: Use the costume squares on page 45
to place over the pictures on the line graph or on
the players’ grids to change the game outcomes.
Games 23  24: Copy the blank squares on
page 40 to place different problems over the
existing addition problems.
Games 27  28: Copy the circles on page
41 to place different numbers over the existing
numbers. Use only numbers 1–6, 8–10, 12,
14–16, 18, 20, 24, 25, 30, and 36.
Games 29  30: Copy the fractions or fraction
representations on page 46 to place over the
existing ones.

  • 5. Introduction Welcome to One-Page Math Games! These 30 games target the math skills that students in grades 2–3 need to master—place value, addition, subtraction, money, and more. I created this collection of games because I love math! It’s my hope to show children that math can be fun and exciting. I also love organization and simplicity. These easy-to-prepare activities consist of one-page reproducible game boards and all use common manipulatives. The games come with clear directions that students can follow independently. They also lend themselves to many different uses. I’ve had the most success using them for centers and for homework. Please enjoy the games as much as my students and I do! –Lory Evans For Centers To manage the centers, I label a three-drawer container for supplies—transparent game markers in various colors, plastic transparent spinners, and number cubes—and use a vertical, three-tier desk organizer to house files with class sets of up to three different game boards. I begin with one game. Then each week, I introduce a new game that is applicable to our math topic, adding it to the front of the organizer. The older games rotate back one by one until students have had three weeks to play the game and master the concept. Then the game retires to my file cabinet until next year (or may appear again briefly for a quick review at the end of the year or to provide fast finishers with some meaningful skills practice.) 5 Game materials are already in most classrooms. Game boards contain art with plenty of kid-appeal. 4 SKILL: Even & Odd MATERIALS • game board • 1 number cube • 2 game markers (1 for each player) DIRECTIONS 1 Players each choose an animal to play The cat needs even numbers to move The dog needs odd numbers 2 Players 1 and 2 take turns 3 Roll the number cube If you get the kind of number you need move 1 space toward home 4 The first player to reach home wins Each skill is easy to identify. Directions are simple and clear. One-PageMathGames©2011byScholasticInc.
  • 6. 6 Each week students are invited to practice their math skills with three games, during which partners are able to discuss their problem-solving strategies, use math vocabulary, and provide additional peer support and techniques. For Homework To send the games home, simply photocopy the game and relevant manipulatives. Give family members the option to use cereal, coins, or small objects as markers. When the game uses a spinner, be sure to clip a paper clip to the top of the game before sending home, and include a copy of How to Use the Spinner on page 40. Using these games as homework is a fun way to involve family members with the curriculum. Parents and caregivers can quickly observe their child’s understanding or lack of understanding and offer their support in a positive way. Materials We have provided reproducible versions of many of the manipulatives called for in the games (see pages 40–48). However, you will likely have many of them on hand already. Here is a list of materials the games use: 1–3 number cubes 2–30 game markers (preferably transparent and/or in 2 different colors) spinner paper clip TIPS To use the games over and over again, copy the games onto colorful cardstock and laminate them for durability. After laminating the game, you may want to prepare a spinner by pushing a brad through the center of its space on the board. Then clip a paper clip to the game board for students to place around the brad. It’s best to use transparent game markers in two different colors. For games where students must remove a game marker or may replace an opponent’s marker, the transparent playing pieces enable students to see the numbers on the game board. Using two different colors allows them to keep track of which pieces each student has played during the game. At the beginning of each school year, consider filling several zippered plastic bags with a transparent spinner, some transparent game markers, and 2–3 number cubes that students can check out to use all year long. coins pattern blocks One-PageMathGames©2011byScholasticInc.
  • 7. 7 CONNECTIONS TO MATH STANDARDS The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has proposed what teachers should provide for their students to become proficient in mathematics. To learn more about the NCTM standards, visit the Web site: http://standards.nctm.org. For additional information about NCTM and to learn more about the topics and benchmarks within each math standard, read Principles and Standards for School Mathematics from the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics, 2000. The recent Common Core State Standards have also put forth guidance for what are the most important skills for students to learn at the different grade levels. To become more familiar with the math portion of these standards, visit the CCSS Web site: www.corestandards.org. For a quick overview of how this book can support your efforts to meet math standards, see the grids on pages 8 and 9. Easy Ways to Adapt the Games Here are tips for easy ways to adapt some of the games. Games 1 2: Use the blank 8-space spinner on page 40 to write in new numbers. For another twist, fill in the stars or balloons with numbers. Students can find a number on the board that is “less than” or “greater than” the one they spin, depending on the game. Games 7 8: Copy the circles on page 41 (use numbers 2–12) to place different numbers over the existing numbers. You may also encourage students to roll 3 number cubes (if so, use numbers 3–18 on page 41). Games 9 10: Copy the squares on page 40 to place different numbers over the existing numbers. Use numbers 4–9 with game 9 and numbers 2–7 with game 10. Games 11 12: Copy the digital times on page 46 to place over the analog clocks. (In Game 11 use only times ending in “:15” or “:45.”) Games 13: For an extra challenge, use the blank 8-space spinner on page 40 to replace numbers 1–4 with greater numbers. Game 16: Use the blank 8-space spinner on page 40 to write in different shapes. Copy the shapes on page 47 to change the grid layout. Game 17: To revise the bar graph, copy the strips of different animals and/or the blank strips on page 45. Be sure to replace the squares in the player rows with the numbers 0–3 as necessary. Game 18: Use the costume squares on page 45 to place over the pictures on the line graph or on the players’ grids to change the game outcomes. Games 23 24: Copy the blank squares on page 40 to place different problems over the existing addition problems. Games 27 28: Copy the circles on page 41 to place different numbers over the existing numbers. Use only numbers 1–6, 8–10, 12, 14–16, 18, 20, 24, 25, 30, and 36. Games 29 30: Copy the fractions or fraction representations on page 46 to place over the existing ones. One-PageMathGames©2011byScholasticInc.
