3 Review Game Ideas for Math Classrooms to Increase Student Engagement

Are your students tired of playing the SAME math review games before an upcoming assessment or end-of-grade test? Are you struggling to find review games that aren't a management nightmare and allow for deep thinking in math (i.e. games that aren't a race to see who can do the math the fastest)? If so, you're in the right place! In this video, I share three things to consider when choosing review games AND I share three of my favorite review games to play with students.

Your Christmas Tree game puts me in the mind of The Unfair Game. I love the twist on it!

[@cherylannberdon1312]

This is interesting, I would love to watched more videos from you. And also, I want to request a video from you showing different math manipulative that can be used in demo teaching. Looking forward for that, thankyouuu for sharing your knowledge.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! PLEASE KEEP IT UP!

[@MixandMath]

You are so sweet! Thank you Jo-Ann! So glad that you are enjoying the videos. :) How is your school year going so far?

In mystery swap, is it every time they get an answer right they can switch point value cards with another group?

[@MixandMath]

It depends on how many problems you are having students solve before you come to check their work... Each time you check their work and all their problems are correct, they get to swap 1 card with another group :)

I am teaching totally virtual. Any tips for reviewing in a virtual world?

[@MixandMath]

You may be already doing this, but using online platforms will be the easiest for you! I know I mentioned Quizizz, but teachers in our community have also said they love Blooket! I'm not familiar with it, but it may be something new to try :)

[@vondawangemann6462]

Do you have written directions for the games you talked about in the video? I'm assuming there are directions in the TPT bundle.

[@MixandMath]

Yes! The review games that are part of the bundle include directions (including Mystery Swap)!
