#MTBoSBLaugust - Three-to-Win Games

 I like games that allow students to practice basic facts in a strategic way. Three to Win is a simple, quick game where students practice basic facts in addition and subtraction (and sometimes multiplication) while using problem solving strategies. The first player rolls two dice and says the numbers. They look at the empty spaces on the board and decide whether to ADD or SUBTRACT the numbers (or sometimes MULTIPLY). Once a choice is made, the player says the number sentence aloud and places their marker over the answer. If a player rolls doubles, they can cover one of the images on the board. Play alternates until one player gets three markers in a row, vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

Below are images of the digital version, which focuses on addition and subtraction.



Below are the images of the print version, which focuses on addition, subtraction, and multiplication.



If you would like to try this with your students, you can download a copy of the Google slides or the PDF version.

That's it for day 16 of #MTBoSBlaugust. I hope you'll come back tomorrow to see what else I have to share.
