Wreck It Ralph Math Hero Game

 

My son Luke was having trouble learning rounding at school (3rd grade).  My youngest 2 are in public school for now, while the older two are home-schooled.  To help Luke practice rounding in a fun way, I came up with a game.  It took most of the day to come up with the idea and then make the game, but it worked!  He mastered rounding and then I gave the game to his classroom.  The object of the game is to move to each space to get to the top.  In order to move to the next space, you have to spin the spinner, draw 3 numbers from the brick pile and solve the problem. 

Pick your Wreck It Ralph Hero

Spin to see where to round to- tens or hundreds

Pick 3 bricks from Ralph's dump.  They have numbers on the back.

Place your numbers on either the tens or hundreds side depending on what you spun.  The floor number is where you are rounding to- either the tens or the hundreds place.  The star number is the helper number that tells you whether to round up or "stay on your floor".

The number line reminder.  If the star number is 0-4 you stay on your floor.  If it is 5-9, go up one floor.

Make it to the top to be a Math Hero!
