The aim
of the indoor or outdoor game is to encourage 'automacy' in the recall
of basic addition facts.
In my classrooms
I do a lot of work on the need for efficiency in doing mental computations.
We aim for, 'SEE IT, SAY IT'. This
addition game offers heaps of opportunity to discuss 'efficient' number
strategies. It also demonstrates that those who use efficient strategies
will do better at the game.
Remember
to play safe! |
Extension
Idea - Calculators
make for extra fun when playing this addition game as the children are
amazed that most people can 'Beat the Calculator'!
