This afternoon the second grade class finished up their work early and were able to play "Math Memory." Everyone has a lot of fun playing and the game is easy enough to make a set for home as well. Since we have been working on two digit subtraction the past couple of weeks, I decided it was time to review addition. Each card has an addition problem on the front with no answer. Every card also has a "match." Two matching cards don't necessarily have the same problem but must have the same sum. For example, the cards 3+8 and 5+6 would be a pair. All of the cards are mixed up and placed face down on the floor. Every player gets a turn to choose two cards and hope they are matches. Over time players can remember where cards that make a certain sum are on the board - this makes the game easier! Try to make a set at home with your second grader and have them teach you how to play!
