Lets Add'em Up
Hey guys, Welcome back!
This week we are taking a dive into the first-grade common core standards, and I thought i would use my concept teaching game to help me out this week.
With this whole time change a review of basics was needed, not sure why but this week I'm feeling fresh and new. So the topic this week is addition, more specifically addition of one-digit numbers. Even though we are looking more at the one digit side of the addition, these resources can be modified and used for two and maybe three-digit numbers.
Here are the Common Core Standards to help us get an idea of what we are looking at:
*Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.

*Add and subtract within 20.
*Work with addition and subtraction equations.
So without further adieu my concept teaching game (cut down to leave out the not so fun stuff),
JENGA: THE ADDITION EDITION
TIME TO PLAY!
WHAT YOU NEED!
Jenga
Painters tape/ Post-its
Additions problems
How to Play:
1. Before students play the game, you will need to write the addition equations on the painter's tape/post-it note and stick it at the end of the jenny pieces(the parts that are sticking out towards the children)
2. This game is played just like Jenga but with a catch, so then explain to students how to play Jenga.
3. Before students can remove a Jenga block, they must work out the equation to find the sum

This weekend is also St. Patrick's day so here are some fun worksheets to do with your kiddo's!
Have a great time adding it up in the classroom and may the luck of the Irish be on your side!
I love jenga and think this is the best idea ever. I definetely saved this one as my favorite. It is such an engaging and fun game. My 2 and 5 year old love to play it. I think is an awesome idea to make it challenge and applying so math to it.
