Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!! 

We continue to use dominoes regularly in math.  In addition to developing the skill of ‘subitlizing‘, we have been using the dominoes to learn addition.  There are three games we have played with the dominoes to develop our computation skills:

1. Dunk it Dominoes!–we choose a domino, draw it, then write the number sentence
2. Cover Me Up–we choose a domino, add up the dots, then cover the corresponding number on our game board
3. Domino War–we divide the dominoes equally between players, each player flips one domino over (at the same time) adds up the dots and the player with the highest total ‘wins’ both dominoes…continue until one person is out of dominoes  (this is the game we learned today)

“I can work with others to achieve a common goal.”

Playing games also builds our communication skills…

Your assignment this week:  Play a game of War with someone in your family…😉

**If you don’t have dominoes–you can usually find them at the Dollar store or you can use playing cards.
