Students will each need a game piece such as a mini eraser or plastic cube for this activity. They will also need a plastic spinner or a paperclip and pencil to make a spinner.
Students will start on the first space in the upper left corner of the game board. They will spin the spinner and identify the number they spun. They will solve the addition or subtraction sentences on the trail and move their game piece to the nearest space that equals the number that they spun. The gray shaded themed spaces are free spaces.
The first player to make it all the way around to the last space on the game board is the winner. To win the game, the player must spin the exact number that equals the equation shown in the last space on the game board.
