Grade Level: 2
Subjects incorporated: Math & Physical Education
Materials: Number cards, sufficient classroom space for movement and computer/internet for extended practice of concepts
Activity:
Introductory Task:
|
1. Students will be divided into groups
2. Each group will be given numbered cards
3. Each student will pull two cards and lay them face down
4. Once everyone has two cards, students will flip the cards over and add the sum of their two cards
5. Whoever has the highest sum wins the round
|
Main Activity:
|
1. Number cards will be spread out on an area of the floor
2. Students will collect two cards of their choice and instantly find a partner
3. Each student will add the sum of his/her two cards and as a pair, they will perform an action corresponding to the summations (Ex: 6+2=8… Hop on one leg 8 times).
4. Each pair will trade one card and will proceed to find a new partner
5. Repeat step #3 with a variety of actions (Ex: Skip, jump, twirl, clap, etc.)

Extended Practice:
|
-> To reinforce addition concepts, students will be introduced to an interactive online website where they may practice single digit addition

Curriculum Connections:
Demonstrate an understanding of addition (limited to 1- digit numerals) using: communications, connections, mental mathematics, problem solving, reasoning, and visualization.

Extended for Diversity:
This activity can be extended for diversity by changing the focus from single digit to double digit numbers, increasing the level of difficulty. Also, it could be used for concepts outside of addition (subtraction, multiplication, division). Thus, students with differing skill levels could be given numbers that best suit their abilities.
