Fun isn’t always educational and education isn’t always fun, but when the two come together – it just doesn’t get any better.                     -Tom Jackson

I strongly believe that you can make any math concept fun if you’ll just take some problems, add a little competition, a little challenge, an obstacle or two, and maybe a game board. In fact, I practice this belief by creating fun math games on a regular basis.

After a team of teachers asked for help teaching a difficult math concept, I looked for a new game board to go with the activity I had just created. I searched for “Free Game Boards” and I got thousands of hits in just a few seconds. However, when I followed the links, I discovered that the game boards weren’t really free.

You’re kidding? No free math game boards???

Well, guess what? I decided to create some and I’m giving them away for free! Plus, they aren’t linked to anything that costs money. They aren’t copyrighted, so make as many copies as you want!

Here are the FREE math game boards:
