Math Monday with Vintage 3M bookshelf games



I decided to take it easy for Math today, I pulled out a vintage Bookshelf game from 3M I remember playing when I was little, Quinto. I scored this copy of the game at Goodwill awhile back when green was the color of the week so I paid $1.50. The object of the game is to lay down number tile that equal 5 or whose sum is divisible by 5. Playing a fun game of Quinto worked on mental math skills for both boys although Nathan got tired of the game quicker than I had hoped.

We didn't keep score this time as this was the first time either of the boys had seen the game, we just played until all the tiles were played.

Since the tiles are smaller than say scrabble tiles, I held mine in my hand and the boys layed their's on the table hidden from the other one.

Cameron enjoyed himself and is already asking when we get to play again.
Math Mission accomplished for this week! Fun game while working on math facts and improving mental math skills.
