Adaptations: This game can also be a subtraction game for gifted students.  ELL students will learn about science through looking at the pictures on the cards of different species of butterflies.  Special Ed students can play this game in pairs or small groups to help them with addition/subtraction. Extension: Use "The Natural World - playing card collection" to connect math with science. (i.e. butterflies of the world) This deck contains pictures of butterflies with the card numbers.

K.OA.1 "Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings2, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations." K.OA.2 "Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within (e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem)." K.OA.3 "Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).K.OA.4 For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number (e.g., by using objects or drawings), and record the answer with a drawing or equation."

Great activities for a winter theme unit!

These activities can be used as sensory counting activities for special needs students.

This could easily be used for higher grade levels by changing the problems to harder equations in addition or subtraction, it would still probably only be useful for lower grades.

This would be a great game to manipulate to be a shape finding game. Instead of doing addition problems, have a list of attributes and have students create the shape with their playdough.

2.OA.1 "Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem." This activity can be adjusted for ELL students by giving them manipulatives to work out their problems. It can also be adjusted for gifted students by challenging them to fill their entire BINGO card, rather than just a line of numbers. This activity can be used in older age groups by providing multiplication or division flash cards, rather than addition or subtraction flash cards.

K.OA.5 "Fluently add and subtract within 5."

5.NBT.7 "Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used."

This could also be used as an addition or subtraction domino game in lower grades without changing the integrity of the game. It would also be easy to use as the level of difficulty of your problems increase. Laminating them to different colors would allow easy coding as to the level of difficulty of the problem.

Math Fact Bingo: this would be a great addition to review day where kids are rotating between activities that are focused on skills from a specific unit. It would also be great to add counting bears or other manipulatives to allow kids the ability to use several intelligences while doing this activity (kinesthetic, visual, logical, verbal)

1.NBT.4 "Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten." This activity can be modified for gifted students by adding the number of die used. Try using two or more die as a challenge! The final score can be adjusted as well. This may be beneficial for ELL students. Instead of using 30 as the score to try to reach, try using 20. In the same way, the final score can be raised for gifted students. This activity can be used for older ages by multiplying the numbers, rather than adding them.

Adaptations: Gifted students can show the sum multiple ways (using different currency) or write the equation for the addition or subtraction problem. EL Students can draw a picture of the currency needed to represent the sum. Other manipulatives can be used with this activity with the amount written in cents or dollars on the manipulatives.

This activity can be used with other manipulatives that are labeled with the coin amounts. This activity connects math and LA. Adaptations include: require gifted students to show 3-5 ways to represent the sum using different currency or give the equation. EL students can draw a picture to represent the coins used.

2.NBT.7 Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value. Differentiation: For younger students, use place value cards and base 10 materials.  Using these manipulatives have students add and find place value with mats.

2.OA.2 "Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory sums all of two one-digit numbers." This game could be modified for gifted students by using more number cards, and modifying the goal. The goal for these students could be to get cards that total 20, rather than 10. This game could also be used for older age groups by having them play with negative and positive numbers.
