Math Match
 
 
Grade: Junior, intermediate

Facility: Gymnasium, multipurpose room or outdoors

Materials: Number Cards

Activity Description: This activity is a great way to get your students physically active while also allowing them to demonstrate their mathematics skills. Good partner work is also encouraged which helps make this activity fun for everyone.

Overview:

  • Students move around the room (jogging, hopping, skipping).
  • On a signal, they each take a card and try to find the person who is their match. (e.g., question card: 5 X 7 = ____, answer card: 35)
  • Each question card should have one answer card.
  • When they find their match, partners complete a fitness task together (e.g., five chair step-ups), return their cards, then continue moving around the room.
  • While the students are moving, the teacher can mix up the cards, or distribute them at random.
