The instructions for the game are as follows: Place 7 red/yellow chips in a cup. Shake the cup and spill them gently on the table. Count the number of red chips and yellow chips. Color in your paper to reflect these numbers. Write the number of chips next to the R for red or Y for yellow. All you need are red/yellow double sided chips, this recording sheet, crayons,and a cup! My kids love to play this game during math centers when we are learning about part, part, total/addition.

Copy star cards (on cardstock), laminate, and cut out. Students begin the activity with all of the star cards face down. One student will select two cards and flip them over. They will count the stars on each star card. The object of the game is to add the stars on the two cards together to get a total. The students can use the recording sheet on the top to record their answers. Copy the recording sheet front and back to make a possible math center last longer. Star cards and recording sheet
