dodsontribe Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Any suggestions on a math board game? I am thinking about Math Animals math board game or Sum Swamp addition and subtraction. My 10 year old does have dyslexia, borderline IQ, and auditory processing. She is around a first grade level in math. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 While this doesn't just address board games you might find something useful on soror's Relaxed Math thread. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/499692-looking-to-do-some-relaxed-math-here-want-to-share-ideas/ By the way, if you don't mind sharing, what are you using for remediation?

dodsontribe Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 We tried Math U See, but it takes her forever to get something. So, I stopped doing that because we literally could not move on. I just do things with her like using money to identify coins and count them, Addition the fun way that has stories with the facts, using a real clock for time, workbooks, and worksheets, manipulatives, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymonster Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Sum Swamps is great! Actually, we've turned all of our games into addition and subtraction practice using the Sum Swamps dice. We also do "War" using homemade cards of numbers 1-10 (each person pulls two cards and adds them together, highest number wins). We also like Zeus on the Loose, but use a 100s chart (and a button to keep track of where we are at). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you attempted using something like Ronit Bird's e-books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My son used to really enjoy Shut the Box. My DD enjoys, Connect Four, QWIRKLE, and Toot and Otto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jenniferbrooke81 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 We have Smath. It's a board game, essentially scrabble with numbers. You get number tiles and operation tiles, then make simple equations (5+3=8). With the addition of the parentheses tiles, my husband and I can have fun with it, but for a child, you can make your own rules and have a relaxed game. It's nice because, like using scrabble tiles when teaching my daughter to read, it's tactile, doesn't require writing, and is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitofthewomb Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ronit Bird has lots of math games in her books. My dd has enjoyed all of them we have played so far. The ebooks are for iPad only-which I don't have. The first print book is called toolkit for dyscalculia & is pricey & not easy to follow. But I have managed lol!

Julie of KY Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Muggins and Knock Out are great games - everyone enjoys them. Muggins would probably be too hard, but there are variations using just addition. Knock out uses just addition of simple numbers. ... Muggins is great when they star multiplying (and is fun into adulthood.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodsontribe Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 No, I haven't done the Ronit Bird's e-books. I'll look into them and all the other things suggested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 7 ate 9 Loose Change Math-a-Kazaam Monster Math Albert's Insomnia Some of these we have played cooperatively instead of competitively so that, even when Bug was too young for the game, everyone could benefit from the experience.
