Week 1 Thursday Mathematics - Race to One Hundred from Youcubed.org

[Type here]

This game provides students an opportunity to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as they try to reach 100 on a number chart. The game can be modified by adding more dice or using dice with more than 6 sides. Students will have fun playing as well as making up their own rules for a new game.

Task Instructions

Each player takes turns rolling the two dice. Markers are placed at zero. Player 1 may choose to calculate the sum, difference, product or quotient

of the two numbers displayed on the dice. Player 1 then moves their marker to that number on the chart. Player 2 takes their turn. For player 1’s second turn they determine the sum, difference, product or

quotient. This number is then added to the number under their marker and the marker is moved to this sum.

Play ends when one player reaches one hundred. If a player rolls and computes a number that cannot be added to the last

number without going over 100 they lose their turn.

If player 1 reaches 100 first, player 2 finishes the round to see if they can tie the game.

Thursday Mathematic - Pig from Helping with Math at Home: More Ideas for Parents.

2006. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.

This is a quick game that can be played to practice addition. It provides fun by tempting a player with making that next roll to get a higher score. Task Instructions

The goal is to be the first player to reach 100. On your turn, roll the dice and determine the sum. You can either stop

and record that sum or continue rolling and add the new sums together. Roll the pair of dice as many times as you choose. Again, when

you decide to stop, record the current total for your score (and add it to your previous score).

But beware! If you roll a 1 on exactly one die, your turn ends and 0 is your recorded score for that turn. And, if you roll double 1’s, your turn ends and your entire score is set back to 0.

Week 1 Friday Mathematics – Barbie Bungee from National Council of Teachers of Mathematics http://illuminations.nctm.org

In this activity, you will simulate a bungee jump using a Barbie® doll and rubber bands.

Before you conduct the experiment, formulate a hypothesis:

I believe that _____ is the maximum number of rubber bands that will allow Barbie to safely jump from a height of 400 cm.

Now, conduct the experiment to test your hypothesis. PROCEDURE: Complete each step below. As you complete each step, put a check mark in the box to the left.

1. Tape a large piece of paper to the wall from the floor to a height of about six feet.

2. Draw a line near the top to indicate the height from which Barbie will make each jump.

3. Create a double-loop to wrap around Barbie’s feet. A double-loop is made by

securing one rubber band to another with a slip knot, as shown (below left).

4. Wrap the open end of the double-loop tightly around Barbie’s feet, as shown (below right).

5. Attach a second rubber band to the first one, again using a slip knot, as shown

below.

6. With two rubber bands now attached, hold the end of the rubber bands at the jump

line with one hand, and drop Barbie from the line with the other hand. Have a partner make a mark to the lowest point that Barbie reaches on this jump.

7. Measure the jump distance in centimeters, and record the value in the data table in

Repeat this jump several times and take the average, to ensure accuracy. Accuracy is important—Barbie’s life could depend on it!

8. Repeatedly attach two additional rubber bands for each new jump, measure the

jump distance, and record the results in the data table.

Week Two Monday mathematics Nifty Fifty.

Nifty 50 (2 players)

This game is great to develop logical thinking and problem solving, review two digit addition and subtraction regrouping, and is fun! The object is to come up with a math equation that has a sum or difference closest to the number 50. First player to five points is the winner!

Deal all the cards between all the players. Each player turns over four cards and makes a two digit + two digit number sentence or two digit – two digit number sentence that has solution is closest to 50. The equation that is closest to 50 gets one point. IF you can create an equation that is exactly 50, it’s worth 2 points. If both players have the same answer, no one gets a point.

[Type here]

During play, Aces are worth 1, and face cards and 10s are worth 0, other cards are face value. After the cards are used, they are put in a discard pile. We played five rounds with two players in a group, but it can easily be up to four players with two decks of cards. My students used their whiteboards to work out various equations before settling on the one closest to 50.
