Transforming Curriculum & Assessment. Students will be able to problem solve. Analyzing a problem Use multiple strategies, including real-life concrete and pictorial contexts, to develop, construct, and apply mathematical understanding through problem solving Estimate reasonably using whole-number benchmarks of 25, 50, and 100 and personal referents Develop mental math strategies and abilities to make sense of sums and differences up to 100 Reasoning and proof Use reasoning and logic to explore and make connections Communicating Communicate in many ways (concretely, pictorially, symbolically, and using simple spoken or written language) to express, describe, explain, represent, and apply mathematical ideas Connecting Visualize and describe mathematical concepts Connect mathematical concepts to each other and make mathematical connections to the real world Representing Develop mathematical understanding through concrete, pictorial, and symbolic representations.

Board Games for the Home. You can recommend all of the games on this page to parents. Most are not robust enough for classroom use.

Grade 1+ Blokus (2-4 players; 20 minutes) is a colourful board game with lots of fun strategy. I like Blokus Duo even more, but that’s only for two players. Qwirkle (2-4 players; 45 minutes) is a pattern game that fits perfectly in a standard grade 1 curriculum. Grade 2-3 Rat-A-Tat-Cat (2-6 players; 10 minutes) is an elegantly simple card game in which addition is central. Grade 3+ For Sale (3-6 players; 20 minutes) is a card game which teaches students about buying and selling property. Grade 4+ Lost Cities (2 players; 20 minutes) is a strategic card game which requires basic multiplication to score. Grade 5+
