Grab and Add
Students will practice their addition skills through this game.
10 bingo chips a bag that can fit all of the bingo chips, and is not transparent marker Label each bingo chip with the numerals from 0-9 with permanent marker or by writing on a tiny piece of masking tape placed on the chips. For older students you may want to write down higher numbers 1. Each student takes a turn to shake the bag and without looking grab three bingo chips. For older students, you may want to ask them to grab more bingo chips. 2. Add all the numbers on the chips together and write this number on their piece of paper. 3. The next student repeats this process.
4. Continue to play for a set number of turns or for a set ammount of time. 5. Add all of the totals up (may need help from teacher), the player with the highest total.

Addition Race

Students will practice adding and number recognition.
1 ruler for each student 2 dice per pair of students 6 toothpicks per student
Ask students to get into pairs and hand out materials. (1 ruler per student, 2 dice per pair, and 6 toothpicks per student) Students then choose six numbers on their ruler and place their toothpicks on each of the numbers. Students take turns rolling the dice, adding the two numbers that they roll, and removing the toothpicks that correspond to the answers.
The first student with with their toothpicks all gone is the winner.

Renaming the Date Math

Students will practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division skills to "rename" the date. Through this activity students will also be exposed to many different equations that have the same answer. paper writing utensils Ask students to look at the date and then figure out how many different ways they can rename the date through equations.
Example: If the date is May 18, here are some different ways of renaming it. 1. May 3+152. May 10+8 3. May 2+5+11 4. May 9x2 5. May 1+3+2+6+4+2

Could Be Game
Students will develop their mental computation skills as well as become familiar with the idea that different equations can equal the same number.
pieces of paper pencil
* Pick a number.eg: 14 On a piece of paper write down one equation that equals that number.
eg: 10+4=14 Tell the students the number that you thought of and have students try to guess the equation you chose to write down. Record the students' ideas on the chalk board to avoid repeats and to give them a visual record of the number of equations that equal the same number. After each incorrect guess state "Could be, but it isn't." Keep going until a student guesses correctly.
