Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop Winners (and a Smartboard game for you)!

Hey, friends!  I'm recycling an old post to link up with TeachingMOMster and SOL Train's guest blog on math centers.  I've got a fun, fun math game in SMARTBoard format for you to download and try out with your kiddos. It's called Hang Ten, and we use it to practice making 10's.  You can tweak it to make it as simple as you need to work in your class.  I used it towards the end of the 3rd quarter, so I allowed the kids to either add or subtract from the number they rolled to get to 10.  Directions are shown in the post.  Just scroll down past the Teacher Appreciation blog hop information.  Enjoy!


Thank you all for participating in our blog hop.

My current fan freebie is up on my Facebook page.  If you downloaded it, you know it is an end of the year game called "Hang Ten" where the children practice making tens.

I converted that game into a Smartboard game and played it on Friday with my kids.

It's played the same, but instead of partners playing against each other, we play it as team one against team two.  It's a great way to introduce the game and be sure that everybody understands the rules, and it gave me a chance to see who understood the concept of adding to or subtracting from to make 10.  My kids loved the game and begged me to play again, but we ran out of time, so we'll play again this week.
If you have a Smartboard and would like this game, you can download it by clicking on the picture below.  Enjoy!

Enjoy your week, everyone!  How many days do you have left?  We're counting down now.  We have 13.5 school days left!
