Partners take turns tossing the number cube and moving his or her playing piece that many spaces. The partner then completes the vertical addition problem on the space on which he or she lands. The other partner then checks the answer. If it is correct, that player stays on the space. If the answer is incorrect, the player goes back to the space on which he or she started. Partners take turns. The first partner to get to wins the game. Caterpillar Chase Put your on. 2 Toss the, and move that many spaces. Find the sum. Your partner checks your answer.

PLAYER PLAYER 2 Ten Frame Ten Frame 2 Playing the Game: This activity gives children an opportunity to practice recording data on a graph. Instruct partners to toss the number cube and collect that number of base-ten unit cubes. Have children use the ten-frame on the gameboard to place their baseten cubes. If children need to toss a 2 to complete a ten-frame and they toss a number greater than 2, have them take only 2 base-ten cubes from the bag and leave the others. Remind children to shade in spaces on the graph in order from to. When shading in a space on the graph, instruct children to work neatly so they do not color more than one box.

2 0_2_2MWVEGB.indd 20 //0 ::2 PM Red or Blue? Objective: To practice predicting the likelihood of an event Materials: For partners red connecting cubes, blue connecting cubes, penny, two-color counter Playing the Game: This activity gives children an opportunity to practice predicting the likelihood of an event and apply it to a game. When children land on one of the pictures, ask them to count the red and the blue objects to determine which color would be the more likely outcome. An outcome that is more likely to be red will cause the blue player to lose one blue connecting cube. Likewise, an outcome that is more likely to be blue will cause the red player to lose one red connecting cube. Partners take turns. The game ends when a player reaches the fi nish cloud. Remind children that the winner of the game is the player with the most cubes at the end of the game. This may not be the player who reached the fi nish cloud fi rst. Red or Blue? One player takes.
