Ontario Math Games by Grade
Pick a grade. Each page lists only the 2020 Ontario math expectations that one of our free games really practises, with the expectation quoted, an honest "close fit" or "part of it", and links that open the game already set to that skill. Times tables, fractions, decimals, clocks, Canadian money and 2D shapes; nothing that needs an account.

Questions teachers ask
- Which curriculum is this?
- The Ontario Grades 1-8 mathematics curriculum (2020). Codes like B2.2 are the strand letter (B Number, E Spatial Sense, F Financial Literacy), the overall expectation and the specific expectation, as printed in that document.
- Does the game cover the whole expectation?
- Usually not, and each card says so. "Close fit" means the game practises what the expectation asks; "part of it" means it practises one piece, which is named. None of these games are an assessment.
- Are the games free?
- Yes. These links open games on the Arcade Deck, which are free for everyone with no account and nothing to install.
- What do students need?
- A desktop or laptop computer with a keyboard and an up-to-date browser. The games are not built for touch.
- Do the links change my saved settings?
- No. A link sets up the game for that visit only. Anything you saved in the game's Teacher Setup on that computer stays as it was.
- Who makes Starship Arcade?
- A small independent studio in Ontario. The games are built with AI and tested before they ship.
