Description
Many of my 2nd grade students have needed extra practice with arrays and repeated addition. In November, I love to use high-interest games and centers with Thanksgiving themes to keep them engaged!
This fun, standard-aligned game helps build students' understanding of rectangular arrays as visual models for equations that are sums of equal addends, which is so important as a cornerstone for multiplication. In Thanksgiving KABOOM!, learners try to correctly identify the repeated addition sentence on each card. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
Here's how to play:
In a small group, players take turns drawing a card from a can, cup, or other container. If they name the equation, they keep the card and the next player takes a turn. If a player picks a KABOOM! card, they have to put all their cards back in the can. It can be pretty fast-paced and very exciting!
This resource has multiple uses:
- small groups
- centers - use as a game or as task cards with the recording sheet
- tutoring
- Thanksgiving/Harvest party
- send it home to play with family
It's easy to prep! Print the cards and copies of the recording sheet, laminate the cards for durability & cut, model how to play, and you're all set. I recommend groups of no more than 6, so print as many copies as you need if you want all your groups to play at the same time.
You will get:
- 45 arrays cards + 9 KABOOM! cards in color and b/w
- student recording sheet
- answer key
- note to the teacher
Fully supports:
2.OA.C.4: Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
