Math games!

So far in math, we have introduced two games, both of which are fantastic for reinforcement at home! You should have received a handout last week explaining the game "Monster Squeeze". If you did not receive it or would like another copy, please let me know! Today, we learned the "Penny-Dice game". Students played with a partner, and began with a pool of 20 pennies (you can use more if you would prefer a longer round!). The first player rolls the die, and takes that number of pennies from the pool. The second player then rolls, and so on until all of the pennies are taken. You can play two different ways- whoever has the most pennies wins, or whoever has the fewest pennies wins! Today in class, we played whoever has the most pennies was the winner. Have fun reinforcing those math games at home!!
