Math Games-Operation and Skills with Dice - 1 views

  • Operation skills with dice
    • Mary Miller
       
      Students who take a longer time to complete the activity could be given a number board with numbers one through ten on it, rather than one through sixteen.  This would save some time and allow slower students to finish at around the same time as the rest of the class.

      3.OA.7 Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
  •  
    This is a fun game that requires students to fill a number chart (1-16) with chips by rolling three dice and using the operations (add/subtract and multiply/divide) the numbers.  They try to fill all the numbers on the chart, but no number can be covered twice, so they have to think about which operations they are going to use on the dice they roll.

      ESL: Heavy repetition will help esl and native students understand a concept more concretely.  
  •  
    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.

  • Solving Word Problems
    • Mary Miller
       
      This activity could be adapted for struggling students by giving them less advanced story problems with easier to spot unnecessary information.  More advanced students could be given more detailed story problems.  Struggling students could also be given story problems with some of the unnecessary information already crossed out and some of the valuable information pre-underlined, giving them a head start

    • Maria Watson
       
      MA.3.3.5 2000 Create, describe, and extend number patterns using multiplication. Extension: Students can write down the facts that equal the multiple.  For example, using multiples of 2's...students place transparent markers on multiples of 2 and write down the number sentence for each multiple. (2x1=2, 2x2=4, 2x3=6...etc)    Adaption: Students who have trouble recognizing the pattern of multiples can use a manipulative like lima beans to count out each multiple.  The student will view the problem like an addition problem (2+2=4, 2+2+2+6, etc...) eventually they will gain the understanding of the connection between addition, multiplication, and multiples.
