Les mathématiques à la maison

Yahtzee

Yahtzee is an easy, fun, family game that allows for some good math practice ( without anyone noticing it! ). You can download these score sheets for free and packets of dice can be found at the dollar store, making it cost effective. Students in grade one will need the support of either an adult or an older sibling to play, but they should be able to recognize the value of the dice, do some of the required addition, and will be introduced to early multiplication concepts ( groups of ). If you are unfamiliar with the game, you can click on the following link from the Hasbro company for a full how to play. Give the game a try, let me know how it went if you do!

Shape Scavenger Hunt

Last week in math, we looked at what we already knew about 2D figures. Our foundation in this strand seems to be quite solid, as most students have no difficulty identifying various 2D shapes. We used the Geoboards to create triangles, squares and rectangles in different designs to try and "hide" them. We then found a partner who's job was to "seek" out the shapes! Today we brought our math journals out to the back field and looked for shapes in our playground, we found many! With nicer weather upon us, go for a walk around your neighbourhood and do a Shape Scavenger Hunt:

- who can find the most squares?
- can you spot a triangle?
- where can you find an octogan?
