In grade one we are learning about number words. In this activity, we worked with a partner to:
Sort the numerals and number words
Place them in numerical order
Represent each numeral/word with the correct number of manipulatives
In Kindergarten we are building our number sense as well. We are working on quickly recognizing a number dot formation (on a die) and finding the corresponding number of manipulatives. In this game we used the manipulatives to make a tower.
We had to:
- roll the die
- count the number of dots (or say it if you recognize it)
- count out the correct number of unifix cubes
- add your unifix cubes onto your tower
Sorry, but there are no pictures for this one! But this is a fun game you can play at home, all you need is a die (or two if you’re really good!) and some building blocks (Lego works great for this…).
We also made a great Lego Man today with dice (yes dice)…come check them out on the bulletin board outside our classroom! Here is the outline and the key to play the Lego Game. Enjoy creating!
