Coming Up Carrots - Addition Dice Game
The Coming Up Carrots - Addition Game provides the opportunity for students to practise simple addition sums using two dice representations. It was designed for Foundation students but is also a great consolidation game for Year 1 and 2 students. This resource includes six game boards and a reproducible recording sheet, which makes it a great formative assessment tool as well.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use strategies for adding small groups of numbers, e.g. visual displays or concrete materials.
- We are learning to use a range of strategies, to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
- We are learning to use counting-on and partitioning to understand the connection between addition and subtraction.
- We are learning to use a range of mental and written strategies to solve simple addition and subtraction problems.
- We are learning to use counting or subitising strategies for addition and subtraction in everyday role-play situations.
- We are learning to use concrete materials or subitising to represent everyday situations that involve equal sharing and grouping.
- We are learning to add and subtract numbers within 20, using a variety of strategies, e.g. counting on, counting back, partitioning, subitising and part-part whole knowledge of numbers to 10 and to use the language of 'plus' and 'minus' in story problems.
- We are learning to model problems involving addition and subtraction, including simple whole-dollar money problems, in practical role-play situations.
- We are learning to solve problems involving modelling addition, subtraction, equal sharing and grouping, using different strategies.
- We are learning to recall addition facts to 20 and apply to related subtraction facts using a range of strategies.
- We are learning to use inverse relationships between addition and subtraction to find unknown values using different strategies.
