Bonus Games: Skill Groups 1 - 8
Eight Bonus Game units target skills students will need at each grade level. These fun and incredibly diverse games feature various types of untimed skill-building activities, such as sequencing and working with tens, pattern sensing, algebra, fractions, decimals.
BONUS 1

Decimals More Or Less. Place ten decimals on a number line (with the fewest moves!) to further critical-thinking skills.
Multiply/Divide Grand Slam. Hones number-sense and grouping skills. Three rounds progress to play with all four operations.
Estimation. Round numbers to nearest 10’s, 100’s or 1,000’s; round multiple numbers then add and/or subtract to select a correct total.
Link ‘N Lock - Multiply/Divide. Students hone grouping skills as they link triads together; requires planning ahead. Multiply or divide the two numbers in a triad and the result is the number you want to look for in another triad to link to.
Equivalent Fraction Tiles. Match tiles with fractions of equal value.
VIFs Tiles. Match tiles with facts of equivalent value.
Elementary Algebra Tiles. Match tiles with a variable of equivalent value.
BONUS 4

Monu’s Path. Using addition/subtraction, work through several different paths to solve for x.
Fractions More Or Less. Place fractions on a number line in proper order. Higher rounds include unlike denominators.
The Hex Factor. Select one of three numbers that will continue a specified sequence, such as “n x 3”. Higher levels present two simultaneous, and feature faster-running sequences.
Pundi’s Puzzle. Sharpens reasoning skills. Select icons of different shapes and colors to fill a 4 x 4 grid where rows, columns, or diagonals do not contain icons of same shape and color. Rounds 3 & 4 feature a 5 x 5 grid.
Jennie’s Jewels. Build Wheels that have one of four common attributes: Same Shape, Same Color / Same Shape, Different Color / Different Shape, Same Color / Different Shape, Different Color.
Fractions Undo. Decompose Fractions. Round 1 begins with 1/4 as the fraction and will sequentially move by 1/4 increments to 1. Choose the two fractions that when added will result in the fraction you want to decompose.
BONUS 5
Fraction Wheels. Combine fractions and mixed numbers using addition/subtraction to create whole-number wheels. Review Game feature allows for immediate feedback.
Grand Slam Integers. Hones number sense and grouping skills using all four operations with positive and negative integers.
Equivalents. A player selects three bars that display equal values, then determines if the remaining bars are more than or less than the three equal values.
RPS Chess. Plays like chess; each icon moves in specific patterns, players capture icons on the board until only one remains.
Pattern Puzzle. Game begins with ONE pattern and from 6 to 8 24® Game Single Digits cards. Select cards that can be solved using the pattern shown.
3 Moves to Zero. Game begins with nine numbers. Using any of the operations shown, decide how to make a zero using three numbers.
BONUS 6
Estimation Decimals. Round Decimals to the nearest 1’s, 0.1’s or 0.01’s. Advances to rounding multiple numbers and then add and/or subtract those numbers.
Misfits 3x7 Numbers. Find the pattern, spot the “misfits” that are out of place and move them to where they belong.
