Using dice

This group have been working on adding 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 to a collection rolled on a dice. 

They are a group that need to estimate, work out and share. Their oral language is being enhanced by talking and comparing. 

We have a student who does not speak very clearly and here he is being the teacher of the group, checking, guiding and supporting this group as well as checking them and giving them feedback. 

Rolling a simple dice - has so many outcomes attached.

Adding 1 can be tricky

Click here or the images for more detail

Adding 1 to a collection can be hard for some kids as they need to go back to the start and count form one.

Subitising is a pre requisite that is needed to do this task. 

Do lots of trusting the count before you add one. 

This pack will help to see a collection and then add 1.

You will find.....

Poster - I can add 1 to a collection

Peg It - Adding a collection and clip with a peg

Spin and add 1 - Laminate and add the spinner with a split pin. Spin and add one. Some students may be ready to record the equation

Read the Room - Adding 1, there are two sets. Color copy and laminate – then display around the room. Students then locate the cards and record the answers. Set 1 is to 10 - children identify the sea animal and record the answer next to it. Set 2 is to 20 and is labelled alphabetically

Roll the Dice - There are recording sheets for 6, 10 and 12 sided dice. Each child needs a best fit dice. They roll the dice and then record the answer vertically and horizontally.

                                       

CCSS standards are included 

K.CC.A.2 Counting and Cardinality – know number names and the count sequence. Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of beginning at 1)

This task fits in with the following

AusVELS Content Description:  

Establish understanding of the language and processes of counting by naming numbers in sequences, initially to and from 20, moving from any starting point (ACMNA001)

Represent practical situations to model addition and sharing (ACMNA004)

Our game this week is a dice game

With a partner roll two dice. Add the two collections together - starting with the biggest collection.

Then together work out a subtraction equation for the same two numbers. 

Record them on a small whiteboard. 

A challenge can be using three dice - addition is easy - but working out the order for three dice might be tricky!! You may not want to explain negative numbers just yet. 

Build a wall with dice

We will be posting ideas for games that will compliment the iSURF(c) approach to the Australian Curriculum and AusVELS every Sunday night! So watch this space and spread the word.

 

This week it is "Build a wall with dice"

 

This game uses Solving Problems and Fluency from our iSURF(c) approach

You will need

A six sided dice

Unifix - or any blocks that will stack - or grid paper

 

You can play in pairs or as a whole class using blocks on the Smartboard and a large dice

 

Rules

Decide what the wall will be ie 10x6 or 12x10, or whatever number facts you may be working on

Take it in turns and roll the dice

The first player stacks the number of blocks that has been rolled

The second player, rolls and may choose to put their blocks next to or on top of

The winner is the one who completes the wall

 

You may use addition or subtraction, add extension/support by using a 4/8/10/20 sided dice

or

use grid paper and two colours - one for each player
