I tried this Number Race with B a few days ago and we've been playing it ever since.
How to Play:
*Roll one die.
*Put a sticker next to the number rolled (or stamp it, color it in, or x it out)
*The first number to have all of its shapes filled, wins the number race!
Instead of drawing this game board over and over again, I created one on the computer so I could just print it out whenever we wanted to play.

Great game! I've used a similar technique teaching higher-level math. Using 2 die (dice?) you can make it an adding or multiplying game by coloring in what the two die (dice?) equal. Add another and you can work on order of operations! :)
ReplyDeleteTo save you on paper, you could always put the printout in a sheet protector, and he could color with a dry erase marker. Just a thought.
How fun and simple! We'll have to try this.

ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog. Love it. I enjoy staying home with my daughter also. May I ask how old your son is? This way I can kind of gage what activities are appropriate for us and even look back through some of your older posts. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great idea! We used two dice to practice addition (as suggested by Amanda above) and this was a definite hit at our house. See my post at http://agilehomeschooling.blogspot.com/2010/01/number-chase.html
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect. My post today is about some oversized dice we bought at Dollar Tree yesterday. I'm going to edit my post and link this.
