WE CREATE CHANGE

CHANGE STARTS WITH US DIVISION 8! FTC14_303_WeCreateChange_Poster_Rnd01_v02_MO3Goats are amazing animals; they can survive in difficult conditions, aren’t picky eaters, & can produce 16 cups of milk a day, which can supplement student meals or be sold to help pay for school improvements. With enough time, they can also breed & grow into a herd!

Spiral Multiplication!

Looking for a new twist on how you practice your multiplication tables!?
1 ~ Use a deck of cards (we use A-9) to make a spiral game board starting from the center.
2 ~ Place your game pieces at the start.
3 ~ Player 1 rolls the die & multiplies the number on the die by the card the game piece is on.
4 ~ If they are correct, they move the number of spaces the die shows. If they are incorrect, they do not get to move.
5 ~ Take turns & repeat until someone reaches the end.
