Cross it off
2 Players per game. One person plays the left board, and the
other person plays the right board.
1) Roll both 10-sided dice.
2) Cross off a number which you either rolled, you can add
to, or subtract to. ONLY ONE NUMBER PER TURN.
a) Example; if Person A rolls 5 and 9 he/she could cross
off 5, 9, 14 , or 4.
3) First to cross off all numbers wins!
Things to consider...
● Do not give answers… ask more questions.
● Use visuals to represent the problem; Open Number Lines and
Ten Frames.
● More than one way to solve the problem
● You are actually good at math and so is your child!
Encouraging different strategies...
Lets try it….
1)
2)
3)
Show a card and ask how many dots? How did you count?
a) What if I added 1 or 2 dots?
b) What if I removed 1 or 2 dots?
c) How many dots do I need to add/remove to get to 10/5?
Show a card and ask to find another card with…
a) Same amount of dots
b) One more/less dots
c) Dots which add to 5/10 or any number 5 - 12
Cut them out and play “memory” by:
a) Matching the same number of dots
b) Matching dot pictures which add to 5/10
Some questions to ask at home...
1) There are 8 cars in the parking lot, some are red and some are
blue. How many blue and red cars might there be in the parking
lot?
2) I have 3 tens and 23 ones. What number am I?
3) What would I add to a number to move it down 2 rows and over to
the left 3 on a 100 chart?
4) Write a number between 50 and 100. Your child must respond
with “50 and _____ equals your number”. Use any benchmark.
5) Using the 100 chart, determine how far two numbers are apart.
What number do I have?
Person 1: Picks a number between 1 - 100 (Doesn’t not share)
Person 2 asks yes/no questions to determine the number.
Use the 100 chart to cross off numbers that are eliminated.
Dragon BUMP! Adding 8 or 9.
Roll a 6/10 sided die, add 8/9.
Place an X/O on the number..or remove the
opponent’s mark.
Once you have 2 marks you OWN it!
Summary
1) You are good at math and so is your child.
2) Games, games, games
3) There is usually, if not always, more than one
way to solve a math problem.
4) There is no 1 to carry.
