This activity includes cards that can be used in Kagan structures: Numbered Heads Together, Quiz Quiz Trade, and Fan-n-Pick; one student worksheet; lesson plan. I designed this activity as lesson one for this standard. It correlates with the common core standard K.OA.5.

Teacher Prep: Students need two dice and counters. Print out mats and laminate. Directions: Students pick the mats according to what game they will play (one more or one less). Player one tosses the dice and adds them up. The will then decide what number is one more or one less and put a counter on that number. Players take turns tossing dice and placing counters on game boards. The player that has four counters in a row is the winner.

Jungle roll helps students master the common core standard K.CC.2, which is counting on. Students roll a die and write the number on the die. They then write the 3 numbers that follow.

This game helps students master the common core math standards K.CC.6 and K.CC.7, which are identifing numbers that are greater, less than, or equal to and comparing numbers in written form.

This math game helps students master the common core standard K.CC.3, which is writing numbers 0-20.

The idea of this game is from the Sister's site. I adapted it to fit into this common core standard. Partners take turns rolling two dice and adding the numbers. The person rolling then places a marker on the game board's number that corresponds to the sum. If a number is rolled and the corresponding space has one of each players pieces on it, the player who rolled can "bump" their opponent off and take control of the space. Once a player has control, they cannot be bumped.

Materials: number mat for each player or pairs, two cow counters or other counters for each player. Directions: 1.The first player drops two counters onto the number mat. 2.The player tells their partner the two numbers and then has to tell a subtraction or addition number story. (I would only choose one) 3.The player then illustrates their number story and writes the equation to match. (Students need to understand the greatest number goes first.) I have also included cow counters if

This is a math game that helps students master the common core standard K.CC.1, which is counting by ones and tens.

This game helps students master the common core standard K.CC.4, which is numbers and quantities.

Standards: SWBAT: Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtractions as taking apart and taking from. K.OA.1- represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, action out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. K.OA.2- Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, eg., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. Materials: 2 counters per student, worksheet

This game helps students master the common core math standard K.CC.5, which is count and tell ,"how many?". If you like this game check out my others at a low cost.
