Elementary Math: Adding and Subtracting With Fun Games!

In this fun and interactive ongoing class, students will practice double digit addition and subtraction with and without regrouping skills by playing a game with their peers (ex. 34+76= or 87-39=). Each class we will play a different game that allows students to interact, collaborate, have conversation and most importantly, have a blast practicing and improving their double digit addition and subtraction skills with each other!  We will play all of the games together as a group, as teams or students vs teacher. Some games will be on the computer using sites like Nearpod.

Games are a fun way to practice and build fluency! Practicing math facts will help with memorization and recalling facts faster. And what better way than to practice math than with games! 

Students should be familiar with how to borrow and regroup when adding and subtracting double digits. They do not need to be an expert though. This class is meant to practice the steps needed to solve the problem. Students will also solve word problems in a few classes.
All classes will have a mix of 2 digit problems to solve with and without regrouping/borrowing.

*Games are subject to change based on how many students are enrolled. Some games are better with more/fewer students.
