The Growing Snake


1.This game will really challenge your students’
abilities to read very large numbers. Students play in
groups of three or four, and each group gets one die. A
ten sided die is ideal (ten being zero), but a standard six
sided die will work just as well. Students take turns rolling
the die. On his turn, a student rolls and writes his number
on the piece of paper to the left of any existing numbers.
He then reads the number on the page. Players take
turns rolling and adding numbers to one already on the
paper, watching the number “snake” grow with each turn.
With each turn the number becomes longer and students
must read the entire number. Make sure each person
gets at least three turns. By the end of the game, your
students will be reading a number at least as long as
111,111,111.

Memory: show the numbers for some seconds and have he remeber

Cuentas:

mulitplication / multiplying
4 x 5 = 20
four times five equals twenty
10 x 10 = 100
ten times ten is a hundred
Note: You can say "equals" or "is" for the result.

The teacher asks for the answer like this:

What's four times five? (What's = what + is)

Multiply 4 by 5
