One of my favorite math games (and my students’ favorite) has always been “Salute.” Salute is a card game that can be used to reinforce addition/subtraction or multiplication/division. I recommend starting with addition/subtraction, even if you are teaching an older grade. I love integrating games into all subject areas, but especially math. This game includes tons of opportunity for learning and reinforcement, and is so fun that students don’t even realize they are learning!
To play, students need to get into groups of three. For this game, it works best if the students in each group are at a similar skill level. Each group will also need a deck of cards, with the face cards and jokers taken out (just keep the numbers 2-10).
