You’ll need some cones with numbers written clearly
on both sides. We write numbers on coffee filters, cut a hole, and slip them
onto the cones – removable.
Explain that the object of the game is to solve a math
problem and grab the cone with the right answer. Divide players into teams and line them up facing each other,
side-by-side, with a 15-foot alley down the middle.
Place cones in
the middle, with their numbers clearly visible to both sides. Begin game by reading the first math
problem. Players run and grab the cone with the correct
answer, return to team.
The team who captures the cone gets the number of
points on the cone and then both players join their teams to help tally their
teams’ points. Read problems until all cones are captured. Team with the most
points wins.
