Math Facts

In addition to creating her own Spelling Tic Tac Toe (and by the way, one of today's activities was "Recorder Spelling," so lucky me,) Madeleine made herself a Math Facts game.  This game is WAY beyond the simple "roll the dice and add one to the number you land on" types of worksheets her teacher hands out.

Allow me to introduce you to:

"3 Digit Scoot!"

This game involves 25 scraps of paper, labeled 1-25, upon which are written an individual addition equation of two 3-digit numbers.  I was instructed to hide the scraps of paper around the house for Madeleine to find.  Once found, the equation would need to be solved, and the answer written in the box corresponding to the number of the scrap.  So it's part Scavenger Hunt, part Arithmetic.

We did this all afternoon.  Madeleine still has 12 scraps she hasn't found.  Some other lucky members of the Rowe household may get some numerical surprises in some unexpected places over the next few days!  Hooray!
