Decimal Game and Task Cards: Decimal Dash (Dragons Den)

★★★★☆

For Teachers | Age: 9-11 | 2-4 Players | CCSS Grade: 4-5

Decimal Dash is comprised of two decimal games and two sets of task cards that are aimed at teaching students:

• Basic decimal operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing decimals)
• Estimation (rounding off decimals)
• Decimal Place value

The set includes an instruction guide, answer sheets, and grading keys.

There are different rules:

1. Use the marathon-themed gameboard and solve question cards to reach the finish line.
2. In pairs or small groups, using either the partner gameboard or the task cards (20 task cards each for fourth and fifth graders).

The pros include:

• The task cards and gameboards are colorful, beautifully illustrated, and easy to use.
• The gameplay variants are easy to learn.

I recommend this set because it offers a variety of exercises. Aside from solving word problems, the task cards contain exercises like:

• Completing the decimal pattern

Multiply and Divide Decimals Tasks Cards and Game Math Review (Fun in 5^th Grade)

★★★★☆

For Families and Teachers | Age: 9-10 | 2-6 Players | CCSS Grade: 4-6

Multiply and Divide Decimals Task Cards and Game Math Review includes an alien and space-themed gameboard, task cards, answer key, and an answer sheet (14 pages overall).

I recommend it because there are several rules, for example:

• Use the gameboard – Players roll a dice and race to the finish line by answering correctly the decimal problems they land on.
• Solve the task cards while moving around the classroom

The task cards are good for independent review, pair activity, and math center rotation because they improve students’ skills on decimal operations such as:

• Multiplying a decimal by a whole number
• Multiplying a decimal by decimal
• Dividing a decimal by a whole number
• Dividing a decimal by decimal

I like the task cards because they also contain word problems that challenge students to apply all those skills. They can check their answers anytime because the answer key is provided.

Decimal Derby! Adding and Subtracting Decimals Board Game with Digital Game (Middle School Math Man)

★★★☆☆

For Teachers | Age: 9-11 | 2-5 Players | CCSS Grade: 4-6

Players move around the game board while adding and subtracting decimals in Decimal Derby. If they give the correct answer, they move their tokens forward. If not, they stay where they are.

This board game becomes more exciting when players land on the “Take a Chance “spot. When this happens, they draw a card from the pile. These cards add the element of luck because it dictates the movement of the players on the gameboard.

I like this game because

•  there are chance cards that can help weak players win the game
• The movement of players is related to the difficulty of the problem
• This game is also available in Google slide version

Although this game consists of 19 pages, they are neatly printed in black and white, which makes it cheaper in printing.
