Hurdles is a quick math review activity that can be used for practicing addition and multiplication. Other games with Subtraction and Division will be added later. In Hurdles, the class can be divided into teams or the teacher may call on any student for each game.
The object of the game is to select three different math equations that must correctly total a preset number. The game is laid out like a running track complete with three hurdles that a runner figure must successfully jump.
