January Addition Bump Game

Tonight I tweaked a few things on my December Bump game and came up with this one:

Players will use regular playing cards (Ace-9) in order to practice the harder addition facts.  I'm toying with the idea of using Uno cards:
     Skip cards would mean lose a turn.
     Draw two cards would mean the player must draw two more 
     cards, add those cards all up, and  cover the sum if possible.
     Wild cards would be any number the player chooses.

4 In a Row Math Gameboards

I'm always looking for fun ways to practice basic skills.  Here are two gameboards I made for practicing the addition facts.  We will be playing Four In a Row on these boards. 

For the first board, students will roll 2 dice and cover the sum. Once a sum is covered, it cannot be uncovered. The first player to get four spaces covered in a row is the winner.  The second game board follows the same principle, but we are using 3 dice instead.  If a player rolls "triple snake-eyes" (3 ones), he loses his turn.

I had to really think about these boards and revisit the probability knowledge tucked away behind some cobwebs in my brain.  Hopefully, they will work well for my class.

If you'd like to try these out, click either picture above.
