We have been trying a lot of activities in math to help us solve addition and subtraction problems accurately and efficiently.
One of the activities is called "Combination Sort" - we have to sort addition equations by their sums.
"Make 10 Butterflies" and "Make 20 Butterflies" are class favorites. We put together puzzle pieces by looking for partners to 10 or 20.
Counters in a Cup is a game where we hide counters under a cup and our partner has to guess how many counters are being hidden.
Our newest activities are called "Bump Addition" and "Bump Subtraction!" Each player gets 10 cubes and rolls the dice. They put one of their cubes on top of the answer (from adding or subtracting). The object of the game is to get all of your cubes on the game board. You can "bump" other players off the board if you roll a number your partner has already covered.
Ask your child what his/her favorite math activity or game is and how they play!
