Addition Game: "ADDITION BUMP"
Two players race around the outside track answering algorithms as they go. On giving the correct answer the students place one of their counters on the algorithm's answer in the centre of the board. The game is ideal for practicing Addition Basic Facts and for developing number strategies.
What You Need:
2 Players
1 Bump Board
2 playing pieces (e.g. counters, coins, small rocks, game pieces)
5 transparent counters per player
1 die marked 1-6
Game Set Up:
Players sit facing the board with their 5 counters in hand. Each player chooses a different tree as their starting point on the board and places their game piece on it.
How to Play:
1. The student with the longest name goes first.
2. Player One throws the die and moves their counter the corresponding number of spaces.
3. Player One answers the algorithm they land on aloud and places a counter on the sum of the two numbers in the middle of the board.
4. Player 2 then repeats steps 2 & 3.
The Bump Rule:
If the answer to an algorithm is already covered by the opposite colour, the current player may BUMP the counter off the board and return it to their opponent's hand. The current player then places their counter on the answer.
The Locked In Rule:
If a player already has one of their counters on an answer and answers an algorithm which requires them to put another counter on that space, they can. The player places the second counter on top of their first to make a pile of two. This space is then 'locked in' and pieces cannot be bumped from the board or have any more counters added to them.
You do an 'addition algorithm' and the answer to an addition algorithm is the 'sum' i.e. The sum is the answer to an addition algorithm NOT a whole class of things. *Author puts soap box away* :)
Discussion:
Why might it be a good idea for the players to check each other's answers for accuracy?
How to Win:
The first player to use up all their counters wins the game.
