Speedy Addition and Subtraction Games

In this class, students will focus on learning fact families and understanding the relationship between addition and subtraction equations. I’ll begin each activity by demonstrating the process, allowing learners to see a step-by-step example before they try it themselves. Some activities will be completed independently, where students can explore fact families on their own through different exercises, and then they’ll have the chance to share their results with the group. Other activities will involve group discussions or games, providing opportunities for collaborative learning and reinforcing concepts through interaction. We will also briefly touch on some properties, such as the commutative and identity properties, to enhance their understanding of how numbers interact within equations. My teaching style combines demonstration and facilitation, ensuring students have guided support while also fostering independence and teamwork. Throughout, students will engage with me through interactive elements like games, discussions, and sharing sessions, making for an active and supportive learning environment.

Below is a list of different games that will be available, though we may not get to all of them. If there is a particular game that keeps students especially engaged, we’ll continue playing it rather than rushing through to cover all of them.
