The Math Baskets Program is a perfect companion for the constructivist math approach, and provides a self-pacing sequence for the computation strand. Lamination is required on some games. The Math Baskets Video shows the components of the Math Baskets program in detail. On this video you can watch students playing each one of the games and activities. This can be used for previewing the program or as a teaching tool for your students as they learn the games.
Players take turns covering or marking three connecting numbers that make a number sentence.
The three numbers must be in boxes that are sharing one side. The person who covers the most numbers is the winner. If your students would like a challenge, they may try to find a way to cover all the numbers to make a blackout.
