This week in Math we are working on our adding skills, with regrouping. After doing a lesson together on the Smarboard, students had the option of choosing the Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced Math Squares worksheet. You need to add up all four boxes to find the total. Some questions have blanks instead of the addends, meaning you need to use the inverse operation to solve. Students loved having choice over the difficulty of their work. All were checked by the teacher and students needed to make corrections, if necessary.
When they were done, the students played the Banker's Game. In this game, you roll two dice to gather Base Ten blocks. Every time it's possible, students need to regroup. The first one to reach 1000 wins!
