One child curls into a snowball shape while the other child pushes them down the hill. The child rolling has to try and stay on the mat until the end. It's harder than it looks...

Math: Numberline Addition

New Concept: The other day we practiced drawing pictures as an addition

strategy. Today I want to show you another strategy. It is using a number

line. I am going to roll the dice (3). Now I am going to put my frog

on number 3. Now I am going to roll again (4). I am going to move my

frog 4 spots. We need to count the hops. He will hop 4 times. So 3 + 4 = 7.
 This will be repeated this several times with different numbers.

Whole Group Explore: Today you are going to use the strategy of using

a number line to help you with addition. You will first roll the dice and put

one cube on that number. Then roll again and move your frog that many

hops to find your answer. Your partner will write your equation down.

Student Application: Students will practice writing their equations.
