Math Club resources
When I started my first math club, I raided the math shelves in the children’s section at my library (510-519) for anything that interested me. I figured that if an activity didn’t interest me, I couldn’t make it fun for the kids. Over the years we have done a variety of games, puzzles, craft projects, and more -- always looking for something that was NOT like whatever the kids would be doing in their textbooks at home. Here are the books I have found most helpful.
