Math Online Games The first 10 math online games are designed to help students review important concepts the week prior to the CRCT test. There are five jeopardy games on this page for the 7th grade students, and five CRCT games for the 8th grade level. Teachers are encouraged to divide their classes into small groups and use these fun jeopardy games to review the math domains prior to the test. At the classroom or school level, teachers can accumulate the scores over the entire week of review, and the winning team can be rewarded in different ways. 7th Grade Games 8th Grade Games Other Jeopardy Games Basketball Math Games Millionaire Games Return from the Math Online Games page to the CRCT Preparation homepage.
