How Crazy Can You Make It?!? Game – Part One – Free Math Tutoring Video

The activity in this free math tutoring video comes from the Miquon math curriculum. It’s a great way for kids to consolidate their knowledge of our number system, to think critically, and expand their understanding of numbers. Encourage your kids to be as creative (or CRAZY) as possible when they do this. Creating more complex problems will develop their math skills tremendously!

This would also be a good activity to do in small groups so the children can have discussion about their ideas and learn from each other.

Making Tens and 100 Game – Free Math Tutoring Video

It is helpful to have either two small group sets of Cuisenaire Rods or else one set and a set of Base Ten Rods, too, when playing the game in this free math tutoring video. This would also be a good game to play with kids who are different ability levels – one could figure out the number bonds of ten and the other could add up each person’s score each turn.

Math War Game – Part One – Free Math Tutoring Video

The game idea in this free math tutoring video came from LetsPlayMath.net and we just added Cuisenaire Rods to it to make it more visual and kinesthetic. We actually show FOUR different versions of the game in this video. You would pick only one version to play through a whole game. More ways to play this game will be posted in other videos!

If you don’t yet know how to use Cuisenaire Rods to do addition and subtraction, watch my other videos on the Addition/Subtraction channel to learn how!
