We are very happy to welcome back Mme Page - one of our school division's numeracy support teachers -
to our classroom! She always brings the coolest Math activities with her!
Here we are, learning how to play "Smothering Ninja Bed Bugs" - an activity that allows us to practice our multiplication and addition skills. To play the game we need to "smother" all of the bed bugs into squares or rectangles, adding the area of the squares or rectangles as we go. Once they are smothered, we count the total number of squares/rectangles we drew and square that number (multiply the number by itself) before adding it to our total. The goal is to get the LOWEST score possible, so there is certainly a little bit of strategy involved!
We will continue to play this game in class over the coming weeks and students will have the opportunity to post their totals and challenge one another to see who can get the lowest score for each game card!
