Spiral Math

One math game my first graders enjoyed last year was 'Spiral Math'.  It's great because all you need is a deck of cards, dice and game markers.  To play remove all face cards (ace will be worth one) and lay the cards out in any order to form a game board.  Once cards are placed a student rolls the die and moves their marker that many spaces.  They add the number on the die to the number card they landed on.  If the student adds correctly they stay on that card if not they to move back to where they were.  The first person to land on the last card is the winner.  This game is great to use for differentiation because students could multiply the numbers just as well.
