I tutor 4 kids in math at a middle school twice a week and I try to make it fun.So far they have been enjoying the games.I just came up with more and I want to get some opinions. and if you have any suggestions in how to make it better please give tip:
1.They complete multiplication problems in workbook(mandatory requirement). Around the room will be pieces of paper with numbers on them.When a problem is completed they must get up and search for the sign that has their answers.Once they complete all their problems and gather all their circles they win.There are no losers.I thought about writing something on the back of each card but think it's not necessarily.
2.They sit in a circle in their desks.I go around and ask each person a math problem from the page they must do.They figure it out and give me an answer.If they get it wrong they must get in the middle of the circle and do whatever I say (like rap,push-ups,hop like a rabbit,etc)
3.They are seated in a circle.It starts with one person standing in the middle.I ask someone a math question.If they get it right the person can sit.If they get it wrong the person standing must do something and remain standing.If the next person gets an answer right then he/she can sit.If not the person must do something.
Also I have three cards games at home: Regular deck of cards, Ziggity,and Uno (aladdin theme). This is a math tutorial.Is there anyway I can use these items to help make math fun but at the same time have them practicing and learning basic matk skills.WORKING IN THE WORKBOOKS IS A MANDATORY THING.Soooo so far they having been doing that while doing something else.
If your kids are really, really young then that sounds fine.
If they are any older than 10 I feel sorry for them.
