1 More, 1 Less

Here are two more concentration games that my students played last year to work on the skills 1 More and 1 Less. You may want to add these to your collection.  ENJOY!!

*Remember to print the pages back to back to differentiate the cards and make it easier for them to match the number sentence to the answer.

Concentration

My students LOVE playing concentration games! These are the first kind of games that we play at the beginning of the year.

I thought I would share a few of them with you. ENJOY!

The games with pictures have two sets of cards. One is in black and white and the other is in color. In the beginning of the year I print each page on a different color of card stock. The students know that they have to match one colored card with the other colored card.

All of the game cards are created to be printed on both sides. Be sure to check them out before printing.

Print, laminate, cut, and play!

Hmmm....

First  of all, I want to say that I love TEACHING and BLOGGING!!  I started it a couple of months ago because I thought I had something to share with other teachers and their students. Today I became a little, maybe more than a little, disheartened after seeing something that was not totally unique for someone and that they are selling it.  Good luck to them...I no longer am a follower.

Property of Zero continued...

Here's another game to practice the Addition Property of Zero. For this game, we are using 10 sided dice.

This is another partner game using the game board, a 10 sided die, and two-sided counters. Students take turns rolling a die, add zero to that number, and cover one of the answers on the game board. If the answer is already covered, the student loses a turn. Play until all spaces are covered. The winner has the most spaces covered. ENJOY!
