The One With The Geometry Game Giveaway

I am elated to host my first teacher giveaway.  I am hosting this giveaway for a couple of reasons.  I'm celebrating.  We have one week left before summer vacation starts.  I really have mixed feelings about it.  I absolutely love this group of 7th graders.  They have been so sweet and tons of fun.  Dare I say the perfect group?  So much so that I was tempted to request teaching 8th grade next year.  I know that I don't like having the same group two years in a row though no matter how much I love them.  Something happens between 7th and 8th grade and not a good something.  As I said in a previous post, I'm making the switch from Math to English.  I am so very excited!  It's what I've always wanted to teach.

Right before I officially made the switch I ordered some math board games from zulily.com.  If you are not a member of zulily, please do yourself a favor and join.  It is for moms & children.  Lots of clothes and furniture, but they also have educational games.  Everything is at least 50% off so you can find some really good deals.  The majority of the educational games and toys are geared for younger children.

Anyway, I ordered 4 board games to use in Math class.  I'm going to keep three of them because someday I may teach math again, but I've decided to give one lucky reader the 4th game.

It is called GeoGems Polygons.  It is for grades 4 and up.  

The game comes with a game board, spinner, instructions, 6 sets of cards, answer key, 60 chips, and 4 pawns.  The game is to designed to build fluency in naming polygons and identifying their properties.  

The game helps with vocabulary such as angles, vertices, diagonals, isosceles, congruent, adjacent, and several other words.  

I really thing it would be a good tool to have for the classroom.
