We are starting another unit on Number Sense today.  After re-introducing the concept of subtraction, the class will play some online Math games as a fun, informative exercise.  Here are the links to a couple of sites we will be looking at this morning:

This first game is meant to be a fairly easy transition back into the concept of subtracting.

The second site has an excellent list of games  that the students may try.

This particular unit will be taught using the progressive method found in the JUMP Math program.  I have found that this method, combined with other resources, makes the students feel more confident and competent in the subject at hand.

Here are some images from this morning's activities with the Math games.  One group used the Interactive White Board to play the games.
