Domino Math Games

There are so many different ways to use dominoes in math.

Here are a few of my favorite ones.

Domino Keepers Addition

a game for 2 players (or two teams)

All of the dominoes are placed in the centre face down.

Both players pick up a domino at the same time.

Each player tells the sum of the dots on their domino, e.g. 2+4=6, 5+3=8.

The player with the highest answer keeps both dominoes. If both players have the same answer, each keeps a domino. The winner is the player or team with the most dominoes when all dominoes have been picked up.

Domino Keepers Multiplication

a game for 2 players (or two teams)

Play this game as above but instead of adding the two numbers on the domino, multiply them.

These games tick all of the boxes - the kids love them, they are simple to play and all you need is a set of dominoes!

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day I have created some St. Patrick's Day Math Games FREEBIES to give the kids some fun, green math especially for the day!

There are 2 print and play games and also 2 board games and a St. Patrick's Day math puzzle.

There are photos of these games below -

In this St. Patrick's Day addition game, players search for pairs or trios that add to 17.

In this game players try to be the first to make a line of four.

They roll 2 dice then take this total from 17.

Of course, green pencils are perfect for playing these games. :)
