Bonds! Card Game for fact recall practice.

 This game can be used to practice Addition facts or Multiplication (the video link below demonstrates both.) To set up for this game, remove the Jacks, Queens, and Kings, but leave in the Aces (they’ll be 1’s) and the Jokers (as wild cards). Set out 9 cards in 3 rows of 3; face up. Look for a set of 3 cards that make a multiplication (or addition, for younger children) fact (2x4=8, you could take the 2, 4, and 8). **For facts that give a product, or answer, that is two digits, the third card in the set should be the digit in the ones place (3x4=12, you could take the 3, 4, and 2). The last version in the video is a variation in which players take turns. On your turn, you say the card that is in the ones place of the product. (The full fact must be present.) The other player can use any fact that works; it doesn’t have to be the same one that you see.

Closure Plan??

Wahoo! No school! or is it?

Here is a link to a resource that has many other resources linked. We can use this in a number of ways to support whatever your teachers are sending for you to work on from home.
