addition and subtraction with objects. By counting objects and performing simple

calculations, students will deepen their understanding of numbers and how they

work together in math.

In addition to counting, students will learn how to combine and subtract

objects from their total. For instance, if 3 chairs are moved out of the classroom,
how many remain? This activity will reinforce the idea of subtraction and its

connection to real-world situations.

Addition and Subtraction with Objects: Addition Example:

 Start with 10 chairs. Add 5 more chairs to the group. How many chairs are

there now?

 10 + 5 = 15

Subtraction Example:

 Start with 15 books. Remove 3 books from the shelf. How many books are

left?

 15 - 3 = 12

Students will practice these basic arithmetic operations with real

classroom objects, ensuring they understand how counting, adding, and

subtracting work in a tangible context.

Exercises or Assignments

(e.g., stationary, furniture, equipment) and count how many items there are

in each group.

3. Create Your Own Chart: Pick any 5 objects around the classroom and

count how many of each object you can find. Create a chart to display the

information.
 4. Object Comparison: Compare your counting results with a classmate. Did

you both count the same number of objects? Discuss any differences and

work together to resolve them.

5. Addition and Subtraction with Objects: Choose a group of objects and

practice adding or removing them. Write the equation and solution for

each addition or subtraction scenario.

Summary

In this chapter, students practiced counting various objects in the

classroom, reinforcing their number recognition and counting skills. By

organizing their results into tables and charts, they learned how to present their

these games is to reach a specific number or finish line while applying

mathematical operations, such as counting, addition, or subtraction. Example

Game Setup: Game: “Number Race” Players take turns rolling a die and move

their pieces forward by the number shown on the die. If a player lands on a

number that is divisible by 5, they perform a simple addition or subtraction

challenge to continue moving.

Section 3.2: Playing the Board Games and Applying Mathematical Concepts
In this section, students will actively participate in the board game. They will

practice their counting skills, learn to calculate the results of simple addition or

subtraction, and understand how numbers play a critical role in achieving game

objectives. Key Features: Playing with Numbers: Students will roll dice, move

pieces, and calculate their steps based on number rules. Math Integration: The

game encourages the use of basic arithmetic, such as addition or subtraction,

depending on the game setup. For example, if a player rolls a 6, they must move 6

spaces forward and then solve a math problem (e.g., 3 + 2 or 5 - 1) to confirm

their move. Example Play Scenario: Roll the Die: A student rolls a 4. They move

their piece 4 spaces forward. Challenge: The student lands on a space that says

“Add 3.” The student must add 3 to their current total number to proceed.

Continuation of the material

As students progress through the game, they will continue to practice basic

arithmetic operations, reinforcing their understanding of counting, addition, and

subtraction. The games can be modified to introduce more complex mathematical

challenges as students become more confident. For example, incorporating

multiplication, division, or even simple fractions into the game can increase the

difficulty and deepen their understanding of numbers.

Advanced Game Ideas:

1. Math Bingo: Players mark off numbers on their board when they correctly

answer a math question based on dice rolls.

2. Addition/Subtraction Pathways: Players move along a path, adding or

subtracting from their current number according to the dice roll, and solving

math problems at each step.

Play a Board Game:

Choose a simple board game involving numbers (e.g., “Snakes and Ladders” or

“Number Race”). Play with a partner and keep track of how many steps you take

based on your dice rolls.

Math Challenges During Play:

While playing a game, create your own challenges that involve addition or

subtraction when landing on a specific number. For example, if you land on the

number 8, subtract 3 to continue.

Create Your Own Game:

Design a simple board game that includes counting, addition, and subtraction.

Create the rules, draw the board, and invite a friend or family member to play.
