School is over! Yay! Now I have the opportunity to go through my math materials and share some "tried and true" math resources.
Today I would like to share the game "Race to 100 or 50". If you click the title, it should carry you to the link on teachers pay teachers to find this game or ( http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Race-to-50-or-100-A-Place-Value-Game-320874)
I used this game with 2nd and 3rd grade students (2.NBT.1 & 3.NBT. 2) to practice the skill, PLACE VALUE.
Materials used: 2 dice, base ten blocks, math mat
Prior to lesson, students should know the difference between ones, tens, hundreds
Player 1 roll the two dice and add the two numbers together. Player 1 will grab ones cubes and represent that number in the ones column. When the ones column has more than ten cubes, then it is time to trade 10 cubes for one rod. Players will take turns rolling and adding whomever is the first to reach 100 is the winner.
To differentiate, I ran the math double sided to include Race to 50. Also, students can start with the target number (50 or 100) and subtract instead of add.
Enjoy!!
