It's always a challenge for a teacher to make learning fun and interesting. It's also important to give students time to practice the skills they are learning so that they are able to master them. In my classroom I like to use games for this. I have slowly been adding games to their choices.
One such game is "24". There are 4 numbers on each card and the students have to come up with a way to make 24 by using any combination of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. The girls in the picture below have used the numbers 7, 5, 4 and 1 to make 24. (7x4=28; 28-5=23; 23+1=24.)

The boys in the picture below are playing one of the many Frog Math games that we have. There are many different math skills that can be practiced playing these games.

These girls are playing "Knock It Off". It is a multiplication game based on fact families. It's a fun way to get extra practice on the basic multiplication facts.
