PLAYING FIRST TO 120

Today we played FIRST TO 120. We played on a 120 number chart and rolled a 10 sided die. We moved our counter that number of places. If we rolled a 5 we had to go backwards by 5. In this game we were practising our adding on skills. For example, if we were on 76 and rolled an 8, instead of counting forwards by ones, we thought in our heads "What is 76+8?" and moved our counter to that spot (84). We had to land exactly on 120 to win. Birthday Boy Sam was the first to 120 in his game.
