Number Chart Clown Cart!

Number Chart Clown Cart!

 

This is my revised version of the classic battleship game!  In this game, students practice identifying numbers as opposed to coordinates.  Students put up a divider so they cannot see their opponent's number chart.  Taking their opponents clown cart, they hide it on one of the numbers.  Students then take turns asking, "Is my clown cart hidden on number ____."  My students loved!  I made different number cards so students could work within their zone of proximal development.  When students become proficient at this level, they can start practicing number sense on a higher level by looking to eliminate more than one number at a time.  This can be done by asking such questions as: "Is my clown cart hidden on an even number?", "Is my clown cart hidden on a number with 2 tens?", "Is my clown cart hidden on a number with 7 ones?", etc.

 



 

I love this activity because it allows you to differentiate among all your students! This is just one of the activities I have included in my 81 page math unit entitled "The First Grade Math Circus."
