Math Bingo Game

by Donna
(Brisbane)

You can set up a math bingo game at any time without any pre made materials.

Just ask your children to fold a piece of A4 blank paper in half three times. This makes 8 sections when the paper is unfolded. (Just fold more times for more sections if you prefer particularly for older children.)

Choose the answers you want for your math bingo game. Let's use the example of focusing on addition sums up to 20. Ask the children to write any 8 numbers in their sections between 0-20 without doubling up on their numbers.

OK, now each child should have a unique math bingo game board with 8 different numbers between 0-20.

Call out, write on the board, or use addition flashcards to ask the maths questions. As a general rule, you will need 2 x questions to the amount of answer sections on the bingo boards, so in this case I need to have at least 16 questions ready.

Children put a cross on their math bingo game boards if the answer to the math question matches a number on their board.

First child to have all crosses wins.

Using this bingo board template, you can actually play all sorts of maths and reading games - just change the answers and questions format to suit the learning focus.

Children love making up their own boards and it ideal for group work also.

 not just for maths
by:

I play bingo with my whole class using a combination of number words, dots, numerals, 'rainbow'addition facts,etc. I write them up on the chalkboard and the children draw up a 3x3 grid on scrap paper and fill in their grid from the chalkboard. I cross them off the board as I call them and the children cross them off their grid. We also play bingo using sight words, days of the week, months, seasons, theme words, whatever. My kids are always asking to play bingo of some sort. It is a great way to consolidate learning for everyone. Often the lowest achiever in the class is able to experience success.
