      Expansion: A game like this could be used for several types of order of operation problems, for example: multiplication.  Students could, instead of trying to add for zero, multiply to find pairs.

    There's power in positive numbers, but negative numbers are equally important! Practice adding positive and negative numbers using a card game and you'll master this tricky concept in no time. Work together with your child, or play competitively, as you gauge his level of understanding. You'll see your child's confidence grow as his speed increases.

      CCSS.Math.Content.2.MD.B.6 Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., and represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram

      This game could benefit those students who are struggling with the concept of adding and taking away from a number and how that changes the value of something. Particularly helpful for ELL students who might lose understanding in the translation. One way to extend this game would be to include positive and negative numbers to demonstrate how negative numbers work.

      This activity could be made more difficult by adding negative numbers and turning it into an actual plane (x and y axes).  For example, points would be identified as (-3,4) rather than A2

      5.MD.3 Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. a. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a "unit cube," is said to have "one cubic unit" of volume, and can be used to measure volume. b. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.

    This activity is really great at reinforcing how to graph on an x and y axis.  It forms the foundations of charting numbers.

    Games are a great way to ease your fifth grader's fear of new math concepts. Kids are always more willing to attempt a new skill when it's presented in a fun, non-threatening way! "The Amazing Equation Race" is an interactive, fast-paced game that will make your child feel more comfortable with simple equations. Although the terms "variable" and "equation" are unfamiliar now, a few rounds will turn them into household names.
