Arithmetic Practice (Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division)

Arithmetic Fishin' is a Grade 3 arithmetic game that asks students to recognize when different expressions have the same value. Players work with cards, discard matching expression-value pairs, and then continue collecting matches as the game unfolds. Because the sets can involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, students practice seeing relationships across operations instead of treating each fact as an isolated question.

Use it in a small group when you want computation practice with a strong reasoning component. Students have to justify why two cards belong together, which gives you something useful to listen for beyond whether an answer is correct.
