Amusing Math Puzzles – Get 430 Brain Teasers to Exercise Your Brain

Here's what I am working with:
1.tutor 5-6 kids for a 1 and half class session
2.They are provided workbooks to work in(so activities must also provide or consist of allowing them to actually work in the book)
3.I use another teacher's class and everything in the room except the chalkboard and desk are off limits.
4.Cannot bring in too many extra items and working in the workbooks are a must and very important.Only extra items can bring in are small items like copy paper,crayons,stickers,etc.

So far I have played bingo with them in which they completed a page in the book and had to locate the problems answers on the bingo chart.

Does anyone have any interesting activities that they can do instead of just sitting in their desk doing problems until time to go?

At the moment they are working on addition and subtraction.Next week they will be on multiplication.

use things they like. such as small candies like jolly ranchers.

if you are doing things like geometry and shapes use twinkies or those cupcake things and have them find the volume and stuff. (my math teacher did it with us all the time last year in 8th grade)
