September Math Games

In Math we play a lot of Math games as warm-up activities or to help us learn a new concept. This week the Grade 1 students played a matching game with numbers and number words. I wanted them to practise reading number words. This was a warm-up activity for Gr. 1 before we got into the "meatier" math. The Grade 2 students played the "Guess the Core" game. One player was the "teacher" and one player was the "student". The teacher made a pattern. They needed 3-4 elements in their core. The student had to guess the core, then roll a dice and extend the pattern 1-6 elements (depending on the number they rolled). Here are a few pictures of the kids in action!

No peeking! The kids were not allowed to watch "the teacher" build the pattern.
