The Py(ramid) Game

This week I introduced the Py (pronounced "pie") game to the fourth graders. The Py game is a great way for students to practice all of the basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It is a game that I used with my first graders at Morning Sun, but is easily adaptable to all levels of learners. We are fortunate to have quite a few sets of the game in our classroom! Be sure to ask your favorite fourth grader about the Py game. :)

Playing the Py game gives students extra practice in basic math computation.

The winner of the Py game is the player that places his/her game piece at the top of the pyramid.
