I am sending the math packs back home today with 3 new games and a set of dominos. The dominos that they are getting in their packs are my own personal sets so I made them swear on their hearts that they would not lose them. I have included a purple sheet with a pictures to lay each domino on top of so they can check to make sure they have a full set at the end of each play session.
The 3 Games:
1. Multiplication Snap: Split the domino set so 2 players have an equal amount. Each player flips one domino, multiplies the 2 sides and the player with the highest product takes the dominoes. Repeat until one person runs out. The other player is the winner.
2. Two Step Dominoes: Keep all dominoes face down. Each player takes and flips over 2 dominoes.They add the pips (dots) on each domino and then multiply the two answers (e.g. Domino 1 has 3+ 2 =6 Domino 2 has 5+6=11. Then multiply the 2 numbers (6X11=66). Write the answer in the proper range in the provided game sheet. The first player to fill their game sheet wins.
3. Clockominoes: Play on their own. Turn over a domino. Add up the two sides and find that answer to place it on around their clock (provided). Do this until all the dominoes are used up.
The most important thing is to have fun! These are great games to help kids practice their basic facts. Though I gave a timeline for the games to be played in, they are not actually due back until November 28th. Please ask if you have any questions.
