Probability Math Menu


The packet with these math games has instructions that can be played at home with some of the math box supplies (just like the geometry menu games). They can be played this summer. Pinch a Ten game just needs the bag of beans.

Exactly Ten can be easily made with cards using numbers from 0-9. Make 8 of each number as well as 8 "happy face cards" that can be used as wild cards. This game reinforces those important addition combinations that equal ten.

Runts Race is used with a spinner, but could be used with a bag of Runts. You could pull out a runt without looking and then make a graph. Predict which color is the most before you open it.

Bear Race used different spinners and predictions for the 4 colors of bears on a graph.

Travel the World uses a bean, a dice, and a north, east, south, west spinner. Follow the directions. It fun to see where you land on the world map.
