R - This game supports using a rule (procedure) without meaning. After the C or R, give evidence to support your thinking. en-us 2021-10-06 22:22:56 UTC 2025-12-28 07:53:46 UTC hello@padlet.com Procedural. Doesn't need conceptual understanding. They can choose easier numbers and can choose to add or subtract. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809103583 2021-10-12 00:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809103583 C. Tactile, fun, competitive, and uses the 100s chart. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809103790 2021-10-12 00:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809103790 R- Requires mental calculation, less of a question of why we are adding. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809104469 2021-10-12 00:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809104469 SUPER FUUUUUN! https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809105328 This game helps students both create groups of ten and also see a visual of addition when the numbers added go beyond the initial grouping of ten. The students have to both successfully add the correct number of blocks from the two die. And they are facilitated with the 30s sheet in making groups of 10]]> 2021-10-12 00:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809105328 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809107025 I like using the starting number previously created because they scaffold on each other for better learning. ]]> 2021-10-12 00:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809107025 I liked that this was fairly simple, but also lead several times (for me at least) to having to add or subtract between hundreds (like 297 + 20) which may be more challenging for students. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809110743 2021-10-12 00:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809110743 R https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809111821 Students are adding up numbers with a 100's chart. They won't really question or have complex questions as to why they got the calculation they did.

]]> 2021-10-12 00:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809111821 R - quick mental calculations. Should be maybe a 3rd grade game which means they already understand place value and this is just a procedures game https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809111946 2021-10-12 00:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809111946 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809116226 Good way to practice skip counting by 5s. Procedural]]> 2021-10-12 00:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809116226 Good use of 100's chart to help skip count by 5. A challenge would be to use 1 cube. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809117507 2021-10-12 00:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809117507 could be interesting with other multiples as well https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809121143 2021-10-12 00:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809121143 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809121407 This game helped students work on place value using addition, but there was no satisfying goal to achieve, so it was kind of boring.]]> 2021-10-12 00:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809121407 R rule conellian https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809121843 R rule did good job training us in logical yes no questions. pretty fun, kind of like battleship]]> 2021-10-12 00:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809121843 R https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809127087 This game has students adding and subtracting but pretty simple. They don't need conceptual understanding. Fluency with addition and subtraction. ]]> 2021-10-12 00:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809127087 R. Seems like this is for building fluency which makes me think it is procedural https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809128207 2021-10-12 00:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809128207 C The game definitely has the potential to teach students the conceptual understanding of adding decimals and the importance of place value and decimal location. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809129315 2021-10-12 00:49:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809129315 Could be difficult to grapple with at first but once there is an understanding students will be able to have a better understanding of decimals https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809131555 2021-10-12 00:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809131555 This has more group involvement and is more competitive. Involves dice which could increase engagement. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809133484 2021-10-12 00:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809133484 I liked that this game makes students create a visual representation of the decimals. It could be challenging for students and they may need extra support. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809135843 2021-10-12 00:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809135843 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809136568 C- The mat's length is the size of 10 cubes. The width is the number of rows to get the total mat number. Good collaboration to achieve common goal and understand regrouping.]]> 2021-10-12 00:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809136568 10 out of 10 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809139744 This game is fabulous! Would play in our free time for sure! This game really stretches students capacity to add by 5s and 10s and to break apart larger numbers like 25 into smaller groups of 5 and 10 to make the addition easier.]]> 2021-10-12 00:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1809139744 I think its a good game but it went really fast for us. I think it would be better if it included in multiples of smaller numbers. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815430554 2021-10-14 00:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815430554 C: “Guess What”. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433322 Very simple but allows everyone access despite math levels. Great for promoting visual processing of quantities.

Concept: viewing ten ones as a unit of ten]]> 2021-10-14 00:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433322 C https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433487 Great way to understand multiples of 5 and adding them together. Notice patterns of 5's and 10's on the 100's chart and how it works. We think it connects to grade 2 concepts of skip counting by 5's and 10's]]> 2021-10-14 00:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433487 B- https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433869
pretty boring, but did give a good visual]]> 2021-10-14 00:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433869 Great for practicing prediction problems https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433950 2021-10-14 00:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815433950 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815434298 I didn't enjoy this game because I don't think that it asked students to really dig in and use math strategies and relied more on rules ]]> 2021-10-14 00:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815434298 Like Battleship https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815435322 In my group we played the 2 player version, I thought that it was entertaining but is a short quick game. I think this could be a great 5 min activity for students. I think adding the physical markers is also a bit more engaging when playing the game. It reminded me of battleship.]]> 2021-10-14 00:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815435322 This game was not super exciting, but the visualization of base-10 was appreciated. I liked that the mats were set up to contain a multiple of 10 both in length and width, so students would easily be able to tell that there are only 10 cubes for a 10 stick and are easily able to see how many cubes (ones) in order to make a 10-stick https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815435523 2021-10-14 00:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815435523 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815436907 2021-10-14 00:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815436907 I think this could be a good "icebreaker" math game for introducing predictions or visualization math problems https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815438032 2021-10-14 00:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815438032 Good idea to have students work together, builds teamwork https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815438302 2021-10-14 00:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815438302 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815438675 R: There are a lot of rules to start the game. Feels like disguised busy work. There is not really an end goal and not a lot of room to be creative. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815438675 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815448489 R: this is a great game to help students understand and practice multiples of 5 while having a lot of fun doing it!]]> 2021-10-14 00:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815448489 Conflicting views. Seems a bit complicated. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815449185 2021-10-14 00:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815449185 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815451259 C: Dynamic way to work with multiples of 5's. Even we had to think for a second with some of them. It's nice that it is a bit of a race. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815451259 Procedural https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815453939 Although it doesn’t explicitly tell you how to add or subtract the number, this is building addition and subtraction fluency. to us this game felt like it would need to be 4th grade +. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815453939 C: https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815457228 I enjoyed this game, it was difficult to wrap my head around at first but after I got the concept I could see the use for upper elementary. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815457228 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815457994 I liked that this game visually represented decimals, which can be difficult for students to comprehend. I also like that it required the students to add decimals to reach 1 whole. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815457994 R https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815463213 We felt like this game had a lot of rules but with modification could be great. Grade 2 concept of adding and subtracting within 1000 was used.]]> 2021-10-14 00:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815463213 snooze fest https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815465637 C: This game helps students practice their base-10 skills by having them use blocks to build groups of 10. Not the most enjoyable due to no competition.]]> 2021-10-14 00:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815465637 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815468135 C: Love that it visually represents decimals in an accessible way and combines decimals with fractions. Very strategic and fun! ]]> 2021-10-14 00:39:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815468135 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815474948 Pretty frustrating and fun when constrained for accuracy.]]> 2021-10-14 00:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815474948 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815477264 math battleship!]]> 2021-10-14 00:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815477264 I don't think this game creates conceptual understanding on tenths and hundredths. I probably would not use this game with my 5th graders even though we are learning about decimals like these. I am not sure what this game is lacking but it just doesn't work for me. https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815478061 2021-10-14 00:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815478061 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815481206 C- I liked how it showed different ways to build 10, it’s engaging and collaborative. It was hard to get a specific number at the end, and that’s where it became repetitive. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815481206 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815482702 This game was a little boring but did create a good visual of what makes a ten. It could be fun for younger learners who are still working on counting within 10.]]> 2021-10-14 00:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815482702 R https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815482727 Following rules but no real concepts. We played the "Battleship" style one and had fun! Kinda concept: Paying special attention to 10 in Kinder. With modification or numbering the boxes we thought the kiddos would enjoy it and be able to engage with base 10 ]]> 2021-10-14 00:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815482727 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815485431 C: this game helps to work on grouping tens by counting up by ones. I would say this game would work for lower elementary, but is too basic to work for upper grades. It was made more fun by adding new math rules and raising the steaks. Overall, it could be adapted and edited to be better.]]> 2021-10-14 00:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815485431 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815487876 Conceptual: many ways to go about playing. Counting on, using the # chart to help solve, etc. Great for 2nd grade! Needs explicit instructions/modeling. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815487876 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815488093 This game was very simple but may help students gain a better understanding of ways to make 10. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815488093 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815488607 R: the game follows simple rules and doesn’t rely on mathematical thinking as much as observations. It would work for Kindergarten, but not other grades.]]> 2021-10-14 00:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815488607 https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815496264 R: We liked how this games starts out with just getting used to the 10 frames - would be great for kinder and 1st grade. The battleship style game is fun and requires some creative thinking to get started, but as far as math goes it is not super involved. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ruzicka/eapa174r09hs1jis/wish/1815496264
