Workshop Wednesday: Race to the Top Math Game


Time for Workshop Wednesday with my BBB Jivey! This week's topic: math games!
One of my favorite math games to play is
RACE TO THE TOP!
This math game is quick, easy, and a fun way to open a math lesson!
Students fill in the bottom row with numbers called by the teacher.
They start this game by adding the two triangles next to each other and writing their answer in the triangle above. They complete each row the same way until they get to the top.
First person with the correct answer on top is the winner!
It's fun and it's fast!
I give a ticket to every students who gets the answer correct no matter how long it takes, and I give the winner 3 tickets. If they have the incorrect answer I tell them which row has an error so they can fix their mistake.
**See enlarged student sample to see how the numbers were added: 
 
First row: 0+1=1, 1+0=1, 0+2=2, 2+0=2, 0+1=1, 1+0=1
Second row: 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+2=4, 2+1=3, 1+1=2

You get the idea...
*Can be used with addition or multiplication.
*Use smaller numbers for a faster, easier playing game or larger numbers to make it more challenging. This student used the side of his paper to add those last couple of rows-smart thinking!
Want a copy? It's a FREEBIE in my TPT store! Feedback is appreciated if you download. :)

  8. Love this!!! I think it would be great to do with multiplication too- but I wonder if the numbers would get "too big" - I'll definitely be using it! :) Thanks for linking up, bestie!!!

  9. Joanne...I LOVE this!!! I printed it last night and tried it with my kids today. We did a practice one, but they were so into it and picked it up quickly. I cannot wait to try it again tomorrow! It is going to be the real deal though...no practice! I did tell them I was going to change it to multiplication and they all growned! I also shared it with a few other teachers! Thanks for all of your brilliant ideas!

  13. Các bé gái trước tuổi dậy thì cũng có nguy cơ bị mắc bệnh viêm âm đạo. Bản thân là các bé gái sẽ không để ý đến mấy biển hiện của bệnh viêm âm đạo nên các phụ huynh cần quan tâm và hỏi han để các bé có thể để ý đến chuyện vùng kín. Nếu trường hợp phụ huynh biết con mình bị viêm âm đạo nếu giấu và không cho đi khám sẽ gây nguy hiểm cho các bé sau này khi trưởng thành.

  15. You will have to pay an entry fee (£39, or £35 if you are a club-affiliated runner) for the ballot, Virgin London Marathon Live Online which you can decide to donate if you don’t get a place in the race. If you do, you get a place in the second chance Lucky Bequest draw, which allocates another 1,000 places to people who missed out in the main ballot and donated their entry fee. Miss out in that draw and you still get a training top, so you’re not going home completely empty-handed.
