New Math game

We learned a new math game today...one you could easily play at home.  It starts with a small grid.  With a partner, children take turns rolling a die.  Once they roll, they quickly determine their number (recognizing familiar arrangements of dots) without counting, and colour in (fine motor) the corresponding number (one-to-one correspondence) of squares on the grid.  How's that for covering curriculum?!  First one to colour in their entire grid gets a "great job" from their partner and the compliment is returned.

They LOVED it, of course.
