Paper plates are inexpensive and easy to find at the store. I always keep a pile of these, but we never ever use them for eating.

Instead, I store them with the craft supplies. We use them all the time for crafts and other activities. They’re so versatile!

Because they’re shaped like a circle, paper plates are perfect for math games. Here are some fun ideas for math paper plate games suitable for all grades from kindergarten through fifth grade (and up).

All of these math paper plate games are easy to make and can turn math into a fun, hands-on activity. You'll find activities for all elementary grades.

Note: I tried to place these math paper plate games in approximately the correct grade level. As always, your child may be working above or below this level. Choose an activity for the concept your child needs to work on, regardless of the grade level.
