Add and Cover

 

I have added a math game that the students have played in class. Many of the SK students know what to do for the game. They roll two dice and I ask them to subitize one of the dice and then count on for the second dice. This assists the students to prepare for addition. If your child needs to count the dots on each die that is okay because that is where they are at this time. However, the ultimate goal is to get them to subitze the biggest number of dots, put that number in their head and then count on. I thought I would attach it for you to download and print off for additional practise with this math game. You will find it on the right hand side of the blog under the heading For Parents.

 

Just a little tip. It is easier for the students if you use two different coloured dice. Second tip is to place the dice in a small clear container with a lid. The students are taught to hold the lid and the bottom of the container when shaking the dice. This helps stop the dice from going out of control. I hope you enjoy working with your child on the game.
