total.
2. Today we are going to
practice adding numbers
together using a
different really fun game,
called Roll and Record. I
have a feeling that some
of you might have played
this game before, but
when we play today, the
numbers are going to
race each other. The
number who gets to the
top first, wins!
3. Each of you will get
one recording sheet, one
pen, and two cubes.
Watch me as I play the
game myself. Roll two
cubes, write the sum on
the recording sheet, and
repeat 3 times.
Demonstrate one
combination with
doubles. When counting
the numbers on cubes,
demonstrate using just
knowing and counting
on. When demonstrating,
always count on from the
bigger number.
Emphasize: roll gently.
Show them how to roll
the number cubes close
to the paper on the table
and explain that we roll
gently because we dont
want to lose the number
cubes.
4. Students go to tables
or rug and work
individually for about 15
minutes. Teachers will
walk around room and
6. Group Discussion:
Teacher asks: What are
the different ways you
added the numbers?
What did you notice?
Was there one number
that came up more than
other numbers? Why do
you think that?
7. Looking to tomorrow:
Teacher explains that the
next day we are going to
see why some numbers
keep winning more than
other numbers.
