Rainbow Facts Gumball Activity
Rainbow Facts Gumball Activity provides practise in adding numbers to 10. It's designed for late Foundation and early Year 1 students.
Students are asked to find as many different combinations of numbers as possible that all add to 10. Each gumball machine also provides a visual number display.
As an assessment, students can photograph their work.
It's a fun rotation activity.
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 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.
