Math Centers

We have been learning lots of new math games for our center activities.  
This is a game called Clear the Board. Each student places ten cubes anywhere on their board.  They roll the dice and add the number together.  If they have a cube on that number, they are able to remove a cube from their board.  The player who clears their board first is the winner.  

This game is called More or Less.  Students first decide which color is Color #1 and which is Color #2. They then reach into the bag and grab a hand full of cubes.  Students separate the colors and record how many of Color #1 and Color #2 they picked.  After writing the numbers, they circle which was more.  

More or Less

This game is called One More.  Students roll a die and add one more to whatever they rolled and place a cube on that number.  The player with five cubes in a row is the winner.

This game is called Count and Color.  Students roll two dice, count, and color the number. First player to color their board is the winner.

This game is Bump.  Students roll two dice, add the number, and place a cube on that number.  If another player rolls a number with a cube on it, they can bump that cube off.  If a player rolls the same number twice, they can place another cube on top of their original cube and lock the number. If a number is locked, it can no longer get bumped.  The first player to use all ten cubes is the winner.
