I put equations on their foreheads and gave them a Making Ten recording sheet. (By the way, there's something special and motivating about a first grader and their forehead.) They visited heads, wrote down the person's equation, compensated on their sheet by making ten, and wrote the new equation before solving.
Here's the recording sheet if you're interested.
Happy making ten!
Labels on their foreheads! Love it!

Lori, they're learning a lot indeed and having fun doing it. :)
DeleteIt's so amazing how quickly students learn a difficult concept when they are having fun playing a game! I pinned it to use next year!
ReplyDeleteAngie, they definitely had a fun time with this. Thanks for the pin.
DeleteI pinned this as well! I agree with you when you say there is something about foreheads! LOL! I need to use those heads more often like this.
