Kindergarten Yahtzee

This week we added a new game to our classroom math stations.  Kindergarten Yahtzee is a fun game where students roll a pair of dice and find the sum.  They check that number on their list and then it is their partner's turn.  If they roll a sum they already got, they just pass the dice to their partner.  This is a great way you can work on addition at home, roll a pair of dice an have your child find the sum.  They could draw a representation to solve the problem or even write the equation.  Have fun with numbers at home and explore their developing number sense by asking how they figured out the sum, did they double check, etc.
