If you run a station or center-based classroom, one of your stations is probably Math Facts.

Sometimes shorter bursts of time work better than long periods, and you can end the game with your students begging you to keep going (which is what you want)! My only caution with this is that sometimes a full period is too long and classroom management may become an issue near the middle to end. Some teachers like to have a full period on Fridays where kids play math games of their choice.

Games have a time and a place in the classroom and there are things to think through as you make your “game plan.” For example, although some may work well as early finisher activities, you don’t want your early finishers playing very high-energy games, as it may distract the students who are still working on the assignment.
