Egg Carton Game

Dear Parents,

We played a fun game today during math!  It is called the Egg Carton Game.  We used it for addition, but it can also be used for subtraction, comparing numbers, identifying numbers and much more!

Below are pictures of the game.  Many of us used different strategies to solve the equation or number sentence.  Some used the calendar or 100 chart as a resource, others used a number line, counters, doubles (11+11=?, so I could say 10+10=20, then I have 2 left over, so 20+2=22), mental math, etc.

This would be a simple and  great game to make at home.

Our class created more neurons to make us smarter.  We persevered!

Love,
Mrs. Roth's Class

P.S. Don't forget to cover the holes in your egg carton with tape.  Otherwise, the two counter will fall out!
