Math Bingo

For Halloween, I made up a bingo game. Then I thought, hey, I could play a math bingo game with my students too! SO I did. You can do it too. I made an addition bingo card by making a table with 4 rows and 4 columns (you can draw this by hand or make it on the computer). Then add numbers in each square that would be the answers you might get if adding two numbers 0 to 10 (0 to 20...but you only have 16 squares and you could use the same number more than once). Then either roll two dice (but if you're using dice that only go to 6 then your bingo card should only go from 2 to 12 and should have some repeats) and add the number or use playing cards and flip over the top two cards and add. Check the bingo card and if your sum is on the card, mark it off. The first to get 4 in a row has bingo. Then you can keep playing to black out. You could play this several times and change your bingo card each time...or even keep it the same, as you will get different problems each time.

You could also play subtraction bingo. Put the answers you would get if you subtracted numbers 0-10 and you would have to put the same number in more than one square. Then using the cards, flip over two cards and subtract the smaller number from the bigger number. Then mark your card.

In fact, you could also play multiplication bingo in the same way, making sure that you put multiples of 0 to 10 on the bingo card. Have fun! BINGO!!!
