Cross the Bridge - Skill Building Game
Students estimate the length of bridges needed to cross gaps between platforms in this fun and challenging measurement game.
- Grade Levels: grades 1+
- Skills Developed: estimation, distance, spatial awareness, and problem solving skills
- Standards Addressed:
Common Core Mathematical Practices - make sense of problems and persevere in solving them by estimating the correct bridge length and refining strategies, model with mathematics by visualizing distances and determining the length needed to bridge gaps
- Classroom Use:
Math Lesson Starter - use the game to practice estimation, discussing how students can refine their ability to estimate lengths and distances based on visual cues
STEM Integration - incorporate the game into lessons on measurement and scale, using it as an example of how estimation plays a role in real-world problem solving
