We have played our first math game of the year this week. We played "Collect 25 Cents" today as a whole class and in small groups. This game requires students to identify, count, and trade coins in order to get to twenty-five cents the fastest. Most students are able to identify the coins, but now are working on counting money and trading for different coins. Every student brought home game instructions. They can teach you how to play! All you need are some coins and a number cube (die.)
This week we will also have our first "Pocket Day!" We will try to estimate and count the number of pockets everyone is wearing. This is a fun activity that many second graders look forward to and remember. Our class will also learn "Plus 1 or 2 Bingo" this week. Every second grader should be able to add 1 or 2 to a number with ease. This game will help us to do that.
I hope you are ready to play games and count pockets at home!!!
