I have reached June….getting excited to approach real time.
Leslie Lewis tweeted about ways to use board games in data lessons.
Start playing with games in your math class. Students analyze the value of Monopoly properties as they gain distance from GO. Scatter plots, line of best fit, outliers, and predictions of future … plus, 7 other games to analyze. https://t.co/bvGvJxZ50v pic.twitter.com/3F2pOperQn

Little Miss Maths asked the MTBoS community for game suggestions. One of the replies talked about the Lobster Game (otherwise known as Enterprise), which Craig Barton reviewed. This led me to another wormhole of exploration on Mr Barton Maths Blog, where he reviewed his favourite games on tes. I think I lost 1-2 hours exploring his tes reviews, but found some fabulous resources.

I like this integer Yohaku puzzle.
Working with integers? Try this shady #yohaku. FIll in cells with 9 different integers to get products shown in each row/column AND sum of 4 shaded cells is 10. pic.twitter.com/IkSixY64Tv

Adrienne Burns tweeted about the game Proof. You can play the digital version here.
Finally bought Proof and I love the Order of Ops conversations we have as we find equations. Even better than 24 Game for eliciting convos about parentheses and properties. @ealworden #mtbos #msmathchat pic.twitter.com/MconMFIkNd
