Flip It Math Game

We played a new math game today. It practices both addition and subtraction, and encourages kids to check their work.

1. Remove K, Q, J, Joker, and 10 cards from the deck.
2. Draw 6 cards for three digit numbers. For 4 digit numbers, draw eights cards.
3. Arrange your cards for subtraction, with three on top, and three on the bottom.
4. Subtract to get your answer.
5. Flip it. Take the answer, and add it to the second number in the equation. If your math is correct, your answer should match the top number from your subtraction.

Here is a student example:

Links to online learning websites

Hi everyone, Below is a list of websites families can use at home for extra practice on core subject areas. Please have a look and see which websites work best for you. Until the CBE determines how we will proceed, it is important for students to be reading, writing, and practicing basic math skills. Try to spend some time each day working on each three. Please keep checking the blog and email. As soon as there is more information for families, the CBE and/or Taradale School will let families know. I will follow up with blog posts passing along any pertinent information. Please stay safe, everyone.

Math Games - Roll an Array

Roll An Array: 1. Each person chooses a colour to colour their array. 2. Roll twice dice, for example 3 and 4. 3. Colour in the array for either 3x4 or 4x3, wherever you want to place it. 4. Take turns rolling and colouring your arrays. As space runs out, you will only be able to colour arrays for space that is left. If you roll and array and their is not enough space, pass your turn. 5. You are done when all squares are coloured. Thanks to Sonia and Vamika for their picture! Here is an example of a completed game (thanks for Japneek and Prajna):
