Today we practiced adding and regrouping for four, five, and six digit numbers.
One of the activities that students enjoyed after we completed our lesson for the day was rolling a handful of dice to create the largest number they could out of the numbers they rolled, and adding it to another number they created from their next dice rolls. Students worked in pairs or groups of three for this activity and checked each other's adding skills as we went. After they mastered this, students were asked to make the smallest possible numbers from their dice rolls and add those numbers together.
Math practice can (and should) be fun over the summer! I hope that students use some of the games we have played in class to reinforce the ideas we have learned during our time together.
Keep on rolling,
Ms. H
