Happy Monday!! I am continually working to beef up my centers and create rigor in my classroom. I am using this activity to help my students to master the Common Core Teaching Standards in math. This activity will enhance their addition and subtraction strategies. The students roll two dice and then add them together. If they are using addition, they will write the two addends into the first two boxes and write the answer at the end. If they are using subtraction, they will roll the dice and add them together to find the other member of their fact family. (We call the largest number the "daddy".) They write the daddy first and then the two numbers on the dice in the middle and last position. For an extra challenge, the students have a third form to write the entire fact family sentences on them- two addition and two subtraction sentences. This is used to differentiate the lesson.
