Voyage to the Treasure! A New Series of Math Games

I am beyond excited to be starting a new series of math games with Shana, from Scaffolded Math and Science! The games are call Voyage to the Treasure! What makes these games unique, is that they are collaborative math games. This means that instead of competing against each other, students are working together to try to beat the Math Monster to the treasure!

We already have a bunch of games created, all focusing on different concepts. To see the full list you can CLICK HERE! As we create more games, they will be added to this page!

Setup:

This is an easy game to prep, making it perfect for the classroom!

  • Place 3 Voyager ships and the Math Monster on their starting spots.

  • Place the MAP on its spot.

  • Cut out two answer banks to use during the game.

  • Use a paper clip and pencil as the spinner.

How To Play:

  • Spin the spinner, move that many spaces. Land on the Math Monster? He moves 2 spaces!

  • Take a card and solve the problem.

  • Check the answer in the answer bank.

  • Check the KEY for the symbol you landed on and move again! Only move if you solve the problem correctly.

  • Take turns spinning and moving all voyagers.

  • Be sure to pick up the MAP by landing on it and correctly solving a problem.

  • Try to get all of the Voyagers to the treasure before the Math Monster gets there!

Hope your students enjoy!
