## Game Variations

### 1. Equalzi

- Objective: Roll four dice and add their values. Then, roll the remaining six dice until their total equals the first four's total.

- Gameplay: Players must strategically decide which numbers to keep or reroll based on their initial roll, enhancing addition skills.

### 2. Addzi

- Objective: Choose a target number between 10 and 60. The first player to roll all ten dice so that their total matches this number wins.

- Gameplay: This requires players to think critically about which combinations of dice can achieve the target sum, reinforcing addition and strategic thinking.

### 3. Less Thanzi

- Objective: Roll two dice at a time, ensuring that the total of each pair is less than the previous pair rolled.

- Gameplay: Players must quickly compare sums and make decisions about which pairs to keep, practicing subtraction and comparison skills.

### 4. Splitzi

- Objective: Instead of rolling for one number, players aim to get five dice showing one number and five showing another.

- Gameplay: This variation encourages players to think about combinations and totals, reinforcing addition as they strategize how to achieve two different targets.

### 5. Target Tenzi

- Objective: All players declare a target number before rolling. The goal is to reach that number with their dice.

- Gameplay: This game emphasizes teamwork and communication as players discuss strategies for achieving their target sum.

### 6. Tenzi Tower

- Objective: Players stack their successfully rolled dice instead of setting them aside. The first to stack all ten dice wins.

- Gameplay: This adds a physical challenge while still focusing on the numerical aspect of the game.

### 7. Pyramid Build

- Objective: Roll four "4s" to create a base, then stack three "3s" on top, followed by two "2s," and finally one "1."

- Gameplay: Players must manage both their rolling and stacking skills while ensuring the structure remains standing, integrating both addition and spatial reasoning.

## Conclusion

These variations not only make Tenzi more educational but also keep it exciting for players of all ages. By incorporating math into the fast-paced nature of Tenzi, children can improve their addition and subtraction skills in a playful environment.

Students will sit in a circle. Use 3D version of grammar symbols and discuss what each one means and why it means what it means. Hand out Grammar symbol posters. Give one student the red ball (verb) and several index cards to accompany it. Pass out cards and symbols to other students. Start w/ the verb and build a basic sentence. i.e., wrote, (place card down in the middle of the circle and symbol on top). Say who or what wrote? The person with the noun card and symbol decides and lays down their card and symbol. Now ask about the article. Would we use a, an, or the? Place those down. Ask, do we have a complete sentence? Yes! Let's expand it by asking what did she write? Letter. Read it back. The girl wrote letter. What do we need here? A - that's right. The girl wrote a letter. Can we expand it further by asking what kind of letter? Who has the symbol that answers what kind? The adjective! The girl wrote a long letter. Are we happy with our sentence?

ITP Beadstring

I am remaking the ITPs so that they will work on all modern browsers and tablets. They will remain freely available to all without the need for a subscription.

This ITP simulates a 100-bead string. You can move all the beads to the right of the string and move individual or groups of beads to the left side of the string by clicking on selected beads. The controls also allow you to move 1 or 10 beads to the left or right of the string to show addition and subtraction. This ITP can be used to model different counting and calculation strategies.

Make a new rectangle

Change the size of the rectangle by entering whole numbers (up to 50) in the boxes. Then press the MAKE button.

Add and move the sliders

Drag the slider handles from the left or top to divide the rectange into smaller parts. Include up to 4 sliders on each axis.

View partial products

Watch how the equation changes depending on the position of the sliders. Point at any region to see the corresponding piece of the equation.

Show or hide answers

Toggle these buttons to show or hide the results of the equation.

Partial Product Finder allows multiplication combinations to be represented as a rectangle, or array, with dimensions that match the combination. The sides of the rectangle can then be divided into parts to reveal partial products that make up the total product. This helps students develop the flexibility and conceptual understanding required to build fluency with basic facts and strategies for multiplication of larger numbers.

Number racks (also known as rekenreks) facilitate the natural development of children's number sense. In the Number Rack app, rows of movable, colored beads encourage learners to think in groups of 5s and 10s, helping them to explore and discover a variety of addition and subtraction strategies. Display up to 10 rows, each with 10 beads, to work with numbers up to 100.

This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments that use laptops, iPads, or Chromebooks.

The number rack is a key component of Bridges in Mathematics, second edition. Online preview available.

App Features

Slide beads one-by-one or in groups across a row.

Display 1 to 10 rows of beads, 10 beads per row.

Reverse the colors of rows 6 to 10 to distinguish (or not) groupings of 25 beads.

Hide and reveal beads with resizable covers to pose problems and play games.

Share your work by saving an image or creating an 8-character code and link to send to others.

Book for Educators

This book offers teachers the theoretical basis and practical knowledge to employ the number rack, or rekenrek, as a powerful mathematical tool. Building on the idea that children must be able to "see" numbers within other numbers (for example, 7 might be thought of as "5 plus 2 more"), the number rack helps children recognize number combinations of 5 and 10, develop a rich sense of numbers between 0 and 20, and build a powerful set of intuitive strategies for addition and subtraction of both single- and double-digit numbers.

Download English Download Spanish

Supplemental Activity Book

This compilation of student-ready activities builds upon the contexts and learning objectives in Learning to Think Mathematically with the Rekenrek (listed above). Students solve imaginable and accessible problems including cardinality, one-to-one relationships, part-part-whole relationships, and subitizing.

Activity Book

Ten activities along with an introduction to using the rekenrek or number rack. Includes correlations to the Common Core State Standards.

Build Your Own Number Rack

Materials Needed

1 piece of mat board, 6" x 3"

2 black pipe cleaners

10 red beads

10 white beads

Tape

Instructions

Along the short side of the mat board cut two small notches one inch from each edge. Thread five white beads followed by five red beads onto each pipe cleaner. Place each pipe cleaner onto the front of the matte board and fold the ends into the notches and around to the back. Secure pipe cleaner ends with tape.

Acknowledgements

The Number Rack app was made possible by a generous donation from Dr. David Moursund.
