Description
Have you ever worried about giving a group of students a game to play independently, because you weren't sure that ANY of them knew the skill well enough to check the others' answers? I know I have. That's why I like all my games to be self-checking.
This is a simple-to-play game that will ensure students are practicing correctly. It can be played like regular "Kaboom". I also included the option to play it where players might draw a "Bonus" card (instead of a "Kaboom" card). This way, players don't have to give up their cards, and they have an extra card to count at the end of the game. We have all had that student who might pitch a fit if he or she had the most cards and then had to give them all back when he or she drew a "Kaboom" card.
When I taught fourth grade, I got the feeling that most of my students had forgotten was division WAS. That's why I like for students to practice division with a visual reminder of what they are doing when they divide. Visuals on the cards represent taking little chocolates and putting different color candy coatings on them. For example, if 36 chocolates are shown and there is a bottle of red, yellow, and blue food color, the problem on the outside of the card would be 36 ÷ 3. Then on the inside it would show the chocolates with their colors. There would be 12 of each color, and the answer, "12", would be shown. Facts go from 1 bottle of food coloring to 12 different colors. :)
Also included are bonus, black-ink-only cards. The visuals on these are based on envelopes going (evenly) into mailboxes. For example, for 30 ÷ 6, there are 30 envelopes and 6 mailboxes. Then inside, the envelopes are sorted evenly to go into the 6 mailboxes, and the answer is shown. Facts go from 2 mailboxes to 12 mailboxes. :)
