I’m very excited this month to share with you some of my favorite math games and activities. Welcome to the beginning of my month long series: 31 Days Of Fun Math Games and Activities. Every day during the month of October I will share with you a new math game or activity. My goal is to hopefully inspire you to try some new ideas in the teaching of math. This is all part of the 31 days series happening over at 31 Days.

I’ve even grouped the games and activities into their different math areas. Check out the schedule below to see what’s coming up and make sure you bookmark this page as this will act as your handy reference guide. As each post is published I’ll link it up below.
