We have been doing a lot of doubles work in here and adding up to 20! Not only are we working through the Envision work mats (be aware-there are some I don't like so we may skip or adapt) as well as using other supports to help us on our addition to 20. One of the activities we have been doing is some old school "Around the World" flashcards, some math games online, some fun games (caps) and double rolls! They love the games and it's a great way to reinforce the learning in the classroom! As I said last week, we are going to continue to work through the topic and as I see we need some more work, I will pause and do some extra practice! One of the areas we will focus on is doing multi-step problems. They will have my support (reading and really explaining) during this topic but this is something we will revisit all year long. If you are looking for a fun way to enhance these skills at home you can make your own game of "Caps"! It's easy and fun! What you will need is to start saving your caps (milk tops, pop bottles, anything with a small lid etc.). You can make the game any way you want! I put the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (TWICE) on the caps. So you should have 22 caps. We roll 2 dice and then add up the dots. We flip that number on the cap over. Who ever turns their caps over first wins! We also play that if you roll what you already have turned over you lose that turn. If you wanted to make it different numbers on the caps for doubles you could! But you'd need to make your own paper dice or something to fit those higher math problems!
