Curricular Games
I have found that games for classroom use are more engaging to students if they make use of strategic mechanics.
These are games I have designed for use in my own classroom. They have been playtested with actual students.

Graphs and Factors
Graphs and Factors is a game about the connections between the linear factors of a polynomial function and its graph.
Players start with a hand of graph cards and a hand of factor cards. During each turn they draw and discard cards attempting to collect the factors that belong to the graphs they hold.
Each graph is worth a number of points based on how many factors it has and how common those are in the deck of factor cards.

Trigonometry Sentences
In this card game, each player starts with a hand of cards which show fragments of factual statements about trigonometry.
The goal of the game is to select appropriate cards in order to build a grammatically correct and factually true statement.
The longer the statement is, the more points it scores.
