There are multiple choices for games to fit the standards you are teaching.]]> 2018-04-02 22:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/maryjo_kuechenmeister/6lq0h460b9jq/wish/247949540 Games I've used with my class: maryjo_kuechenmeister https://padlet.com/maryjo_kuechenmeister/6lq0h460b9jq/wish/247950018 Funky Mummy (addition/subtraction facts)

The way the games are set up helps students to scaffold into larger numbers and more advanced mathematical concepts. For example, students can play the game Save the Whale and build number bonds of 10. They can also play Funky Mummy and practice with addition/subtraction. They can also go on to more advanced mathematical strategies in Catapult Count On, where they begin with any number (single or two-digit) and have to count on a certain number to launch the catapult.]]> 2018-04-02 23:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maryjo_kuechenmeister/6lq0h460b9jq/wish/247950721 maryjo_kuechenmeister https://padlet.com/maryjo_kuechenmeister/6lq0h460b9jq/wish/247951445 The games on ictgames.com allow for students to bring their learning and practice home. I've had students ask me for the website info so that they can play the math games at home--for fun! Sometimes when we have indoor recess, students ask to play these math games. These games allow students to explore many ways to practice the skill they need to master and to have fun while doing it. Other games challenge them, helping to build on their mathematical skill sets.]]> 2018-04-02 23:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/maryjo_kuechenmeister/6lq0h460b9jq/wish/247951445
