Rainbow Domino Addition
We’ve been toying with addition off and on for a good long while now, but as she’s preparing for first grade starting this summer, E has started asking for “homework” (again – she went through a “homework” phase a while back as well). This has caused me to be a little more systematic about what we work on, and I’ve been trying to get a better view of where she’s at before she even starts school.
I’ve come to realize that while she can do addition up to 10 and LOVES saying “Do you know what 10 plus 10 is? It’s 20! Do you know what 20 plus 10 is? It’s 30!” and on and on, she’s not actually fluent in addition up to 10 and spends a lot of time thinking about it and guessing wrong.
To increase her exposure to addition and help her get fluent, I’ve used her new-found interest in domino games and made her some rainbow domino addition games.
Today, I’m sharing a version that has two addends on both sides of the rainbow domino for matching.
(E was 6 years and 7 months old.)
