Curriculum Connection Math

The math game that I encourage grade 4 students to try out is Canoe Puppies. This math game is a canoe race that requires you to add two digit numbers in order to push your canoe forward and win the race. This will require students to think on the spot and add the two digit numbers together. This is a fun way to engage in math as you are racing to be the first canoe across the finish line

Since we work on the addition of two digit numbers in grade 4, this would be a great game to have students try at home. It covers the grade 4 mathematics curriculum expectation that explains, "by the end of grade 4, students will: add and subtract two-digit numbers, using a variety of mental strategies (e.g., one way to calculate 73-39 is to subtract 40 from 73 to get 33, and then add 1 back to get 34). This game would have students practicing these math strategies in their heads and give them practice working with two-digit numbers.
