This is a math game for second grade students. It addresses the second
grade Content Standards:(2.3) Use
mental arithmetic to find the sum or difference of two digit numbers
and (3.3) Know multiplication tables of 2's, 5's, and 10's and commit
them to memory. To
play this game you will need 40
students and will pass out a card with a a math problem to each
student. The student who receives the card that says "I have 23.
Who has this number plus 4?" will begin the game by reading their
card to the class. The student who has the answer for the problem
written on their card would then say "I have 27" and then read their
problem that is written on their card out loud to the class. The
student with the answer will then call it out and read his or her
problem that is written on their card. Students will continue to
do this until the class comes to the last card that says "I have
13. Who has this number plus 10?" Which would be 23, which
loops students back to the first card that was read at the beginning of
the game. The great thing about this game is that every student will
have a turn to think about a problem, call out the answer to their
problem, and read the next problem for the class. Also, since it
loops around no student will have the same answer or problem as another
student.
