Math Game

This past week we had a few visitors stop by in second grade. These visitors were two of my aunts, Aunt Becky and Aunt Ann, and my sister-in-law, Jess. When these visitors stopped by our classroom they said that they wanted to play a game with us. To play this game we stayed in our three groups in the classroom and each group was given one dye, a pencil, and each student in the group was given a lined piece of paper. Each student was given the task of writing from 1 to 100 on their piece of paper, if they were the first student in their group to reach 100, they would win the game in their group. However, in order to write on their paper, they had to get the pencil in their group. To get the pencil, they passed around a dye and if they rolled a 6 they would grab the pencil and write as fast as they possibly could. They would keep writing until another student in their group rolled a 6, then that next student would grab the pencil and write as fast as they possibly could. As you can imagine, this was a very fast moving game!

The second graders LOVED learning how to play this new game. I want to say a huge thanks to our visitors for stopping by and having fun with us!
