Claim Stakers Game

This game is Linda's pick for her favorite math resource found this year! Claim Stakers is a clever combination of math learning/practice and an enjoyable strategy game. Players use their knowledge of multiples, divisors, squares, primes, odds and evens to claim 3 rows or columns on the game board, which looks very much like a hundred number chart. Before starting play, 3 short activity sheets are completed to ensure understanding of concepts; these also act as reference sheets during the game. Using a spinner, players land on action spaces that require calculation or numerical knowledge, often with several choices for correct answers, then strategically claim a number on the board with their chips. Game play is interesting and combines luck, strategy and knowledge in the right proportions. For 2 players or 2 teams.
