This resource can be used to support small group structures in math. Because these games are available in multiple levels called stages, teachers can differentiate the games played in each small group to best fit the needs of their students. Additionally, teachers may consider having paraprofessionals or co-teachers lead and observe students playing the differentiated math games.

The games are organized by standard which allow for teachers to find games specific to students' individual needs and goals. Students may progress from one stage to the next as they work toward their goals. Consider reviewing the collection of games by standard to see which would be a fit.

The provided teacher overview, student instructions and resource files are designed to be used by any educator. The differentiated math games could be used in a before or after school program. Consider which games span multiple grade levels and use similar materials. The following games are suggested as a starting point for after school programs and other multi-age settings:

• Pattern Blocks (K)

• What’s Behind My Back (K - 2nd)

• Which One? (K - 5th)

• Capture Squares (1st -3rd)

• Mystery Number (1st -4th)

• Target Numbers (1st - 5th)

• Can You Draw It? (1st - 5th)

• Get You Numbers in Order (1st - 5th)

• Greatest of Them All (1st - 5th)
