Stop, Swap, and Roll Blog Hop!

 Hi Everyone!
I'm so excited to be participating in my first product swap blog hop.  Thanks to Melissa from Jungle Learners for organizing this.  Click the button to head on over to her page.

So I was matched up with Amanda from Daisy Designs.  To check out her adorable blog click the picture below.
 

 

We each got to choose a product we wanted to try from each other's stores.  I chose her addition and subtraction dice games for math centers.  While I'm not in the classroom this year, I have a daughter in second grade who loves to play math games and needs support with her addition and subtraction facts.  Talk about a perfect match, right?

 

My daughter was so excited to try these games out.  First we did the addition

Then we did the subtraction.  Pictures coming soon... little brother deleted them off my phone. 

I printed off a few of the task cards.  There are a total of task cards.  Too many for Suri to do, but so many options for the classroom!  Task cards are great for active learners, like my daughter.  I made her hunt for 5 of them.  I made it fun, like a scavenger hunt.  She loved it!

So what do I LOVE about this product??  Oh, let me tell you...
1.  It just takes dice!  (ok, paper and pencil too, but seriously, 0 prep!)
2.  The dice games are fun!  My daughter enjoyed these and was willing to do them after school.  Now that says a lot, right?
3.  Your students can take them anywhere.  You can make this an active learning activity.  They can work anywhere in the room.  You could even do these dice games outside on a nice day.
4.  There are so many ways to differentiate.  These games will work for all first graders and second graders.  You could even use them with strong kinders or as intervention with struggling third graders.
5.  Playing dice games makes learning and practicing math facts fun!
6.  There are so many task cards!  That gives you options.  You can choose which ones to use and use the ones most appropriate for your students.  Yes, there's an answer key too.
7.  The product is very well organized and Amanda pays great attention to detail.
