XtraMath and iPad Fun

The second graders had so much fun using the iPads to learn how to log into XtraMath today. They were very engaged. I hope that they get lots of fact practice at home with XtraMath too!

Salute!

Today we learned the math game, Salute! This game allows practice for addition by solving for a missing addend. In this game, one student is the dealer. The dealer gives one card to each of the other two players. Those two players hold their cards on their heads with the number facing out. The dealer looks at the two cards and says the sum of the two numbers. Each player looks at the other player's card. They use the number they see and the sum said by the dealer to figure out what their number must be. Then they rotate roles and repeat the game. This would be a fun game to play at home!
