Oh, how I love easy games that are engaging for the kiddos and require low prep time! Especially when those games develop critical skills, like composing and decomposing numbers and making combinations for ten.
Students who know their combinations for ten (ex., 3 + 7, 2 + 8, etc.), and understand how numbers can be decomposed, have powerful tools for developing fact fluency. For example, a student who knows that 5 can be decomposed into 2 and 3 can use that knowledge to master a more difficult fact, like 8 + 5, by making a 10 and then adding 3 more. Along the same lines, a student can extend the knowledge that 7 and 3 makes 10 to multi-digit numbers, and decompose 25 to grab a 3 and make a friendly number out of 37. So, tonight I have two versions of the same game.
One is representational, featuring ten-frames, while the other is completely abstract. This makes differentiating easy, since kiddos in the same class can be playing the same game, but with different supports. What would you do with an egg plate? So I found these cute little egg pans at Walmart a while back for only 97 cents a piece and I knew I had to do something with them, but what?
I think there are about a 1000 ideas that ran through my head, but in the end I decided to make a little differentiated math activity for my upcoming change in math stations. I know that one of the strategies for differentiating is using different kinds of materials so I'm always looking for new and interesting ways to use items I find.
Probably just like everyone else out there. Since my kinders are working on subtraction, I wanted to make a BUMP-like subtraction game. Some of my students are still working on basic subtraction with 0 through 5. So for them there are some numbers that I wrote twice. And for my more advanced students I used numbers 0 through 11 on the spaces. Cut and laminate the cards and put them in a pretty little basket. Now give each player their own color of egg. What?

(see illustrations) Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1). (see illustrations) Write numbers from 0 to 20. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. Count to answer “how many?” Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
