Get your centers ready for cold and snowy days! Your students will be so excited to see all the winter fun when you introduce this set of 10 engaging addition, subtraction, multiplication, and place value games! Partner games are an easy-prep and effective addition to your math rotations. You'll love how easy it is to get these games ready to use! Each game has just one page to print, with no cards to prepare. Just give your students dice and erasable markers - no other preparation is needed! All of the games are provided in both color (less than 20%, just enough to keep things bright and engaging while saving your ink) and black and white (great for sending home for family practice!). These games are filled with polar bears, snowmen, and lots of cute winter kids having fun. There are no Christmas graphics in this set. Lots of high-interest fun to keep your learners engaged and motivated to practice MORE! What are the benefits of using partner games in math rotations? There are lots of opportunities for math talk when you play partner games! Both players will be repeatedly practicing math vocabulary as they play. Since players get more turns than in a small group game, both players will get more practice in the topic skill of the game! Even a quieter partner can't help but be drawn into the collaborative problem solving and discussion that's a part of playing partner games The random nature of many partner games means a player can win based on both skills and luck, leveling the field for players of varying ability. For you as a teacher, prep just doesn't get much easier than partner games! Games increase student motivation and focus. I'll bet your students have asked to play a learning game again and again. More practice = more learning! Here's what you'll receive in this set: Four games for addition and subtraction practice Four games for practicing multiplication facts (broken down into groups of levels, e.g. facts for times 2 through times 5) Two games for place value (rounding and comparing four-digit numbers) The games also great for use by math interventionists, homeschoolers, and tutors or other one-on-one remediation. ****** Thanks for your interest in this resource!
