Number Sense - What Number Am I Game (part 2)

*This is part 2 (a more advanced version) of this class.  I suggest this class for students who have taken part 1 OR students who have a very good understanding of the number sense concepts outlined below.

This fun and engaging math game will focus on student’s knowledge of number sense.  Through playing this game, students will apply knowledge of numbers 1-120, even/odd numbers, place value (ones/tens/hundreds), less than and greater than, addition and subtraction, and skip counting.  Students need to have an understanding of these skills in order to successfully participate.  If a student hasn’t mastered these skills this is a great way to practice and become more fluent with these essential math concepts.

We will begin class with a quick review of the skills mentioned above and then move into the game.  I will model how the game will be played as we work through the first set of clues together.  Students will need to have a copy of the 120 chart.  I will give clues to students so they can try and figure out the number I am describing.  This version (part 2) will include more advanced number sense clues for students than in the original version of the class.  I recommend putting the 120 chart in a dry erase sleeve (or in a photo frame or any other erasable surface) so that it can be used multiple times throughout the game.
