Product Swap: Catch Those Creepy Crawlies

Okay, so I'm a little behind, but that doesn't make this any less important! I had the privileged of checking out a super cute math game from Storie over at Stories by Storie for Jessica's Product Swap!


Okay, so the product I am reviewing is her Catch Those Creepy Crawlies: A Math Game. 


I knew that I would be able to use this with my students! Here is her description:

"Students will work on number sense while having fun. Catch Those Creepy Crawlies is played like Go Fish. Students can match pairs or work to collect a set of four cards.

This file contains cards with numbers less than 100. Cards have numbers written in standard form, written form, using tally marks, and using place value blocks."

Doesn't it sound like fun! And we have actually being practicing the different forms of numbers for the past four weeks now so it was P-E-R-F-E-C-T to use with my kids! 

Here are a couple of my kids having a lot of fun playing this game: 



They were able to start playing right away independently because the instructions were so easy to understand. I love math games where you don't need an accountability piece because the learning is built in and the kids natural competitive natures come out!

You should also check out Stories blog, I was actually a follower before the swap!



Have a great weekend everyone! :)

  1. Thank you, Casey :) I can't believe you've already been back in school for so long. We don't start for another month!

  2. I was checking out your TPT store when I ran across your Mystery Number of the Week. You totally inspired me to create one for my class. I've included place value, a story problem (to find me add... or subtract...), greater than/less than, number of digits (2-4), and odd/even. Again, I want to thank you for the inspiration!
