Projects and Activities

Top-It

This is a card game played at various times during the year. Two players are optimal, but if more challenge is necessary, you may more players. Each player turns over a card. The owner of the highest card gets to keep all the cards that were turned over. The person keeping the highest number of cards is the winner. The focus of this game is the ability to determine the bigger or smaller number, not necessarily who the winner might be. As the students are introduced to addition facts, we play Addition Top-It.

Addition Top-It

Played just like the above game, but each player turns over two cards. The sum of the two cards is determined. The player with the highest sum gets to keep all the cards that were layed out.

Coin Grab

Pair students. Put dimes and pennies in a bag students can not see through. Student grabs a handful of coins to count. His partner grabs a handful to count. Winner has the highest number. May need to control the number of dimes to make it a number students can count successfully.

Domino Snatch

Pair students. Turn all dominoes face down. Take turns turning one over and counting to see who has the bigger number.

Base 10 Bash

Pair students. Use base 10 longs and cubes. One student represents a number with his longs and cubes. His partner is to show the determined number (either 10 more, or less; or 1-10 more or less). Ex: First student shows 32 with 3 longs and 2 cubes. Partner is to show 10 more, so he shows 4 longs and 2 cubes. As students get better, they can determine what they want their partner to show.
