This morning in my section's Math class, we played two really fun games. First, we played a game called Zip Zap Boing. It's a game that helps students practice their knowledge of factors and multiples. In the process, though, it gets very silly (and fun). Students count around the room. Whenever someone gets to a number that's a multiple of 3, they say the word "zip" instead of saying that number. Whenever someone gets to a number that's a multiple of 5, they say "zap" instead of that number. And whenever someone gets to a number that is a multiple of both 3 AND 5, they say "boing" instead of that number. It's a lot harder than it sounds. And we definitely had some tongue-twister moments!
After Zip Zap Boing, we played another game called Multiple Turnover. Multiple Turnover is another game that deals with factors and multiples, which is the focus of our current unit. It's a bit more complicated to explain the rules of this one, so I've uploaded the directions here.
And here are two more photos of students playing Multiple Turnover.

Students each have their own Multiple Turnover "decks" so it might be fun if you tried playing the game at home as a family!
