I'm trying to make a math game for geometry and it is intended for elementary students. Nothing complicated. Something simple using materials that I can find at home and that doesn't require Shopping.


Answer
If you can find a copy of John Horton Conway's book "On Numbers and Games", it's full of great possibilities. Note that it's a serious mathematics book, with proofs and all. Nonetheless, the games are simple to understand.

Two of my favourites are Sprouts and Cutcake. See the first two links.

A non-Conway game is Dots and Boxes. See the third link.

Its the last day before fall break and i don't know any math games i can play with my students.
It must be interactive so students would WANT to play.

how about math jeopardy!!. i played this at middle school algebra class. the teacher made a whole list of math problems, for example 100pts for factors!! or 200pts for Quadratic. the winning team get some kind of prizes

we all in a team of four. so we all can solve the problem together . this is a good way to let the other students that dont really know how to do it by watching thier team members

in Google just type in elementary math games. There are so many to choose from. I worked with all ages in elementary school and many of the sites that came up were ones the students loved.

I remember the second level had a donkey and a surgar cane farm. The ninth level was on a beach with a toucan and stuff. there was also a pizza level. And at the very end the cat(you) became the mathmatician.



Answer
Cat Olympics and the Chinese Olympic team.
