Hunting and Math Games

Meet our class hunter - he inspects peers papers for "backwards bugs."  All kids are learning the correct number formation and are expected to ALWAYS fix their backwards numbers if they have any.  Please help your child fix these ANY time they write letters or numbers.  

Bingo has been a hot game this week in math.  Players make their boards and also play.  Rules are different each time.  They are NOT just writing numbers.  For example, one day this week, we rolled a die and added 3 each time. As they make the board AND play, the die is rolled and they add 3.  Another day, we found partners to 6.  The die was rolled, and whatever went to that number to make 6 was written down.  These games provide more exposure and practice for kids as they develop skills to become automatic in their addition and subtraction facts.
