Instructional Ideas

  • Since this game isn't turn-based, kids could practice alone, with a partner, or in a small group
  • Use the black-and-white version provided in the materials to increase the difficulty; in the colored version, the math facts match the game places in number and color

Classroom Considerations

  • See the materials for a black-and-white version of the same game
  • While this may take some time to prepare (especially cutting out and laminating the math fact cards), you can use this game over and over again

Pros

  • Includes instructions on the first page that tell you how to make this into a file folder game
  • Comes with thrity math facts to help kids practice adding and subtracting one- and two-digit numbers

Cons

  • None
