30 complete domino games
30 essential 5th grade math skills
Clear rules and directions
Options for differentiation
Multiple ways to play
This resource ensures you always have engaging, hands-on practice aligned to 5th grade standards.
Your students will practice across all major areas of 5th grade math:
Multiplication and Division include multi-digit multiplication (2 × 3 digit, 2 × 4 digit, 3 × 3 digit), long division with 4-digit dividends and 1- or 2-digit divisors, and fact practice with multiplication and division to 12. Students also practice multiplication as scaling and solving “how many times larger” problems.
Fractions cover multiplying fractions by whole numbers, fractions by fractions, and fractions by mixed numbers. Students also add and subtract mixed numbers (with and without like denominators), convert improper fractions to mixed numbers, and divide fractions by whole numbers.
Decimals include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with decimals, along with rounding decimals and representing them in expanded and word form.
Geometry and Measurement give students practice with geometry vocabulary, geometry concepts, and calculating volume.
Expressions and Reasoning include order of operations, problem solving, and reasoning tasks that tie into real-world applications.
With these 30 skills, students will strengthen fluency, deepen conceptual understanding, and build confidence with higher-level math standards.
Shuffle the dominoes and place them face down. Each player draws 8.
The first player lays down a domino with a problem and answer in the center.
The next player connects a domino with the matching answer.
If a player cannot move, they skip their turn and draw.
Play continues until one student uses all their dominoes.
The rules are quick to teach and stay consistent, so you can apply them to every skill without reteaching directions.
Give each student or team an even pile of dominoes, start with one in the center, and have them race to connect all of their pieces. This fast-paced version encourages fluency and quick recall.
Give each group a set of dominoes and have them work together to connect every piece into one long chain. Replay to see if they can beat their own time. This cooperative option builds teamwork while reinforcing skills.
Teachers love that these domino games make advanced math practice both manageable and fun. They’re quick to set up, easy to explain, and flexible for any classroom structure—ideal for math centers, partner practice, small group instruction, or full-class spiral review.
Because the set covers multi-digit operations, fractions, decimals, geometry, and volume, it provides comprehensive review all year long. Students stay engaged with the gameplay, while teachers appreciate the coverage and consistency.
