I want to share with you today, a fun game that my students are always thrilled to play. It helps them build up their understanding of place value and seeing numbers as groups of tens and ones.  I use a commercially produced game called 'Pop for Numbers' that is great for Numeral Identification. It has lots of gumball cards inside that each feature a numeral.  Students take a ball from the container, and collect the same number of ones. Upon their next turn, they collect another set of ones. Once a group of ten can be formed with the ones they have collected, they can trade it in And so the building begins...  if a 'pop' card is revealed, this player returns all their blocks to the tub and must turn their gum ball numbers over. The building then commences again.  Your students may also like to practice building specific numbers using a new file of mine called "Show Me the Number Fun Book".

My daughter and I had fun road-testing a paper craft newly added to our growing collection. We have a four day weekend here to celebrate the Queen's Birthday weekend. It is cold.

We got to pop open a brand new tub of one of my favourite supplies too - good old Clag Paste - perfect for Cut and Paste - it even says so on the tub!  You can find the Summer Fun craft in our collection at TpT, or on its own .

Gather paste, scissors and a die. Cut out the 'game pieces' Each game in the set has different instructions - t...

I have a few spider games in my resource collection.  Spider Web is one of them. This game is played with a small group of students. Each student has a game board and counters/chips. Two dice are rolled and the numbers totalled.  A little clear plastic container works perfectly for throwing two dice.  I recently revised this game and it now includes brighter game boards, a new worksheet and cover page!    Thinking of spiders and strategies for addition helped me to create this 'print, play and paste' for double numbers.
