I call these games Equation Maker games.     I have used these for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They are really simple to draw up if you want to make your own or I have some premade ones available in my Math Board Games sets.   To make an addition one, you just need to draw 3 blocks then add the addition sign and equals sign. Put in the numbers that could make addition equations and it is ready to play.   The players make equations by covering one number in each set on a turn, e.g. 3+9=12.

The game is played just like Tic Tac Toe but if you can't read the word, you can't cover the space!   Of course these games are very simple to draw up on paper if you want to try them or you might like what I have created. These games work so well that they quickly evolved into 5 sets of games that look like this -   I have used the Dolch sight words for the games and there are 5 sets - Pre-Primer Primer First Grade Second Grade Third Grade.   There are 8 color...
