New math games

Here are a few of our new math games:

Shake the dome and write the numerals in order. We will try higher numbers next week! 

Fish bones- one partner rolls a die and places that many bones on the fish. The other partner rolls the die and has to change the number of bones and explain how many he had to add or take away to make the new amount. 

Number shapes- students reach into the magic bag and pull out different color tiles to make number sentences to equal 5. Students take turns recording these on whiteboards. 

Build a floor- students take turns rolling a die and try to make rows of 5 to build a floor. 

Magic hat- students take turns playing the role of the magician and the audience. The magician chooses a number card, and students place that many bears on their board. The magician then hides a certain number of bears under his magic hat, and the audience has to figure out how many bears are hidden. Students then write a number sentence such as 7= 1+6. 

Roll a leprechaun- students roll a die and add parts to their leprechauns!
