** Monday’s Topic: Time ** ü Activity: Game; How to estimate time! § Requires two players and a watch or clock with a second hand § For this game your students need to know this is a game that helps them learn how to tell time. They need to know that there are 60 seconds in one minute. Select three activities i.e. jumping jacks, hopping on one foot, and jumping rope. Have the students do jumping jakes and count while you the teacher time them for a minute. Repeat this with the other two activities.

Take the blank 48 index cards and write the numbers 0-10, four times for each number. Also add four wild cards. Begin by passing 5 cards to each person and the remaining cards are placed face down. Then the student who starts the game will look at their hand of cards and see if they can make any pairs, if not they can ask any other person for a specific card that they can use to make ten with one of their own cards. Once the student makes a pair of “10” they will then write it down on their paper and place the cards off to the side. If another player doesn’t have the card you want them take a card from the deck. If that card doesn’t add up to ten with any of your other cards your turn is done, but if it does you make take another card. The object of this game is to get the most pairs to equal 10. ** Wednesday’s Topic: Subtraction ** ü Activity: Software Game § The students will engage in a awesome computer program called Flash action.
