Thursday: April 16th 2020 Math
Pre-K Highest Number Game: Play a game with your child using a deck of cards. Each person draws a card and let the child determine which is the highest number. The child then counts to that number.
Kindergarten Addition & Subtraction Game. Use a deck of playing cards to add and subtract! Take turns drawing cards. Draw two then add them or subtract them.
1st & 2nd Grade: The Greater than Less than Game. Use 1 to 2 regular decks of cards. 2-4 Players. Deal 3 cards to each player. Students try to make the largest 3-digit number. The player with the largest number gets all the cards. The Ace can be any number that you want it to be – it is a wild card. The King adds 100 to your number, the Queen adds 50 to your number, and the Jack adds 10 to your number. After all the cards are used – count the number of cards you have and the one with the most cards wins. To play it a different way – just reverse and the one who has the smallest number wins each hand. Have fun.
3rd & 4th Grade: Multiplication Game use a regular deck of cards. Shuffle the cards and deal out the entire deck to everyone playing. The first player will begin by drawing their top two cards and multiplying the numbers to find the product. Write the product down on a piece of paper. Once everyone has used all of their cards, each player will find the sum of the products written down on their piece of paper. Whoever has the highest sum, wins the game!
5th Grade: Make the Most Students can practice basic multiplication facts, finding the highest sum, and practice multi-step problem solving all at the same time. Directions: Select 4 cards from the deck. Make the Jack an 11 and the Queen a 12. (Take out the Ace, Joker, and King) The child must determine which combination of factors will create the highest products that when added will make the highest sum. For example, if they pull a 3, 7, 10, 4. Which two combinations, after multiplying, make the highest sum 3 x 7 and 10 x 4 or 10 x 7 and 4 x 3? The one with the highest sum wins and gets the cards – draw again.
6th Grade: Half the Recipe Here is a fun way for students to practice multiplying or dividing fractions. Start with a simple recipe for a favorite dish. Have them to calculate double or triple the recipe for their next large family gathering and write the new recipe down. Have them then find the amount of ingredients needed to make a smaller portion of the recipe just for them. They can divide it by 1/2, 3/4, 1/3 or 2/3. Create and enjoy!
