SaluteAddition salute - need: numbered cards. I use playing cards with Kings, Queens, Jacks, and Aces removed leaving numbers 2-10 for each suit. Sometimes you can get playing cards from the Dollar Store.
Divide students into groups of three. Two of the students each draw a card and put it up to their foreheads so they can't see it, but others can. The third student, who can see both cards, calls out the sum of the two cards. The students race to figure out the value of their own card. The first student to call out the right answer, keeps both cards. The round ends when all cards have been played and the students count their cards to see who won the most cards. (There's a couple ways to rotate. One is that two players race each other for the entire deck while the third calls out all the sums for that round, then choose another person to call out the sums. Or the three students can take turns each time the cards are drawn so they each get a turn calling out sums and racing in the same game. |
Addition BingoAddition Bingo - Need: Blank Bingo card in a plastic sheet protector, dry erase markers, two 12-sided dice.
Have the students write numbers between 2 and 24 in each of the squares. They can repeat numbers as many times as they'd like. Roll two 12-sided dice and write the two numbers on the whiteboard. Students find the sum and, if they have that number, cross it off from their card. They can only cross out one number each roll (so if they wrote 10 on five different squares, they only mark one for each time a 10 is rolled). After playing the game, see if they notice that some numbers are called more frequently than others and have them erase their cards and chose new numbers to play again. Can lead to a discussion on probability. Can make a chart showing all the possible different combinations...) |
YahtzeeYahtzee - need: yahtzee score sheets for each student and 5 dice per team.
Krypto - you lay out 6 numbered cards. You have to add, subtract, multiply and/or divide the first 5 cards to make it equal the last card. This game requires students to think creatively. There can be more than one way to manipulate the numbers to get the "answer." This is a great game. You don't actually need the "Krypto" cards, any numbered cards will work.
