Solve that Task
This game is for two players and uses 3 sets of cards: One set of Game Cards,
a set of You Did It! cards, and a set of Better Luck Next Time cards.
Player 1 takes the problem sheet for player 1 plus the answer key for player 2. Player 2 takes the problem sheet for player 2 plus the answer key for player 1. (Players check each other's answers) The first card from the stack of game cards is turned over and both players answer the matching card number on their problem sheets.
Both players work on solving the problems at the same time. (This way, there is less down time for each player).
Players with correct answers draw a card from the You Did It pile, players with incorrect answers draw a card from the Better Luck Next Time pile. The winner is the player with the most points after 20 rounds or after a predetermined number of rounds.

Straight 7 Game
(This can be played using colored pencils or crayons to mark the spaces. Each player needs to use a different color)
Player 1 takes the problem sheet and cards for player 1 plus the answer key for player 2. Player 2 takes the problem sheet and cards for player 2 plus the answer key for player 1. (Players check each other's answers.)
Players each draw a card from their own set of playing cards and answer the matching card number on their problem sheet. Both players work on solving the problems at the same time. (This way, there is less down time for each player).
If a player's answer is correct, he/she gets to color in one block on the board that contains the card number of that card. (There are two spaces on the board for each card number). If both blocks with that number are already colored in because of a wild card, the player loses that turn by not getting to color in a block.
Although they work on their problems at the same time, players need to take turns coloring in a block on the board. To see who goes first, players should each draw a card from one set of the playing cards. The one who draws the highest problem number goes first.
The first player to get 7 blocks in a row wins the game. Also, in addition to trying to get 7 in a row, players should try to block the other player from getting 7 in a row. If all cards have been played and no one gets 7 in a row, the game is a tie.

BOARD GAMES
There are 11 board games with 2 sets of game cards included in this unit, including holiday games boards for Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's Day.
Player(s) 1 (and 3, if four people are playing): Take set 1 of the game cards and the answers to set 2.
Player(s) 2 (and 4, if four people are playing): Take set 2 of the game cards and the answers to set 1.
Player(s) 1 (and 3) check the answers of player(s) 2 (and 4), and player(s) 2 (and 4) check the answers of player(s) 1 (and 3).
Each player draws a card from their deck and answers the problem on the card, (They might need a piece of scrap paper for this). If the answers are correct, players take turns moving on the board. If a player’s answer is incorrect, that player does not move. The first player to reach the finish wins.

Math Basketball
All cards should be shuffled together. Player 1 takes the problem sheet for player 1 and the answer sheet for player 2. Player 2 takes the problem sheet for player 2 and the answer sheet for player 1. (Players check each other's answers). Players take turns drawing a card from the stack of game cards and answer the matching card number on their problem sheet . If the answer is correct, the player gets the amount of points stated on the card. In addition to point cards, there are penalty cards and free throw cards.
The player with the highest score after each player has taken 15 turns wins the match (or however many turns agreed upon by the players).

Cut and Paste Activity
Students will cut out the tiles and then choose one and paste it onto the answer sheet where it says start. Next, they will solve the problem on the right side and locate the answer from the left side of one of the remaining tiles. Finally, they will paste that answer tile next to the first tile on the answer sheet. Following the pattern on the handout, they keep answering and pasting until all problems are solved. If done correctly, the answer on the first shape should match up with the problem on the last shape.
Five Squares Game
Colored pencils or crayons work best for this game.
Player 1 takes the PLAYER 1 game sheet plus the answer key for PLAYER 2. Player 2 takes the PLAYER 2 game sheet plus the answer key for PLAYER 1. Each player checks the other player's answers.
DIRECTIONS: Choose a game board. Larger boards make it easier to get 5 squares in a row. After the cards are shuffled, each player draws a card. The person who draws the highest problem number goes first. To start the game, the top card from the deck should be turned over. Each player finds the problem number on their own game sheet and answers it. If the answer is correct, that player gets to color in one square on the board, trying to get 5 squares in a row, while blocking the other player from getting 5 in a row. If a player gets the answer wrong, that player does nothing on the board for that turn.
(Important: Both players work on solving their problems at the same time, but they take turns coloring in the squares on the board, with the player who drew the highest card before the game going first. This way there is less down time for each player).
The first player to get 5 squares in a row wins the game. There are also few “free” spaces on the board(s).

I designed these practice drills to help students to memorize their times tables through repetition and practice. The unit contains 34 pages of drills plus 34 answer pages beginning with the 1's and gradually increasing in difficulty up to the 12's.
