Do you remember playing Battleship when you were a kid? How exciting was it to figure out where your friend’s battleships were and sink them?! Well, I’ve brought that fun and excitement into the math classroom. For those of you who have no idea what the game Battleship is, read below to discover a game that will keep your students asking for more! WHAT IS BATTLE MY MATH SHIP? Battle My Math Ship is a game for two players who try to guess the location of the ships each player hides on a grid that can't be seen by the opponent. Each player receives a page with two grids and sheets to identify the spaces they choose and show their work. The goal of the game is to sink all of the opponent's ships by correctly guessing their location and solving the problem. HOW DO YOU PLAY? Each player secretly marks the battleship grid on the TOP of their sheet with the number of battleships stated. They do this by drawing a ship, marking an X, shading the box, highlighting, etc. in the spaces they choose. The BOTTOM battleship grid is what they use to choose spaces and attack their opponent. Each player calls out a letter and number that identifies a column and row from the BOTTOM grid in an attempt to name a space that contains an opponent's ship. Each player then solves the problem and states their answer to their opponent. AFTER each player solves the problem, the opponent checks that space and states whether they “hit” or “missed” a battleship. Each player should cross off the spaces the opponent attacked and answered correctly and write HIT for the spaces that contained a ship. If they did not answer correctly, they can try attacking that space again on a different turn. The first player to sink all of their opponent’s ships or the most in the allotted time frame, wins the game!!! |
Do you have any Math games made for 4-5th graders? Thanks!
Hi Marion,
Yes, I have a few that would be an appropriate level for 4-5th graders: one-step equations, simplify fractions, integer operations, multiply and divide fractions, greatest common factor, and place value. You can find them all with this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Algebra-And-Beyond/Category/Battleship-279301
The link for Math 6-8 bundle goes to your Algebra 1 & 2 bundle. Could you check the link please. I would like to see what items are in the 6 to 8 bundle. Thank you.
Hi Jamie!
I'm so sorry the link was incorrect. I have updated it now, so you can view the Grades 6-8 bundle. Thank you!
Best,
Tyra
