Lesson Outline
Baylie began her session with a math game called Missing Number. The game is an algebra based find the missing number game. One person closes their eyes while the other player puts counters under a cup. The player opens their eyes and can only see what is outside of the cup and needs to solve for the missing number. Baylie played this game with sums of 10, 12 and 14 and picked up the concept quickly. This game is a great way for Baylie to practice her addition and subtraction facts. I recommended her playing with Morgan at home. Next we moved on to a game called Headbands. Headbands is not only fun, but inherently educational as well. While playing, students use their deductive reasoning skills with the game's simple yes or no, question-and-answer premise. By making connections and coming up with questions that will lead to answers, students also practice creative critical thinking skills. Baylie did a wonderful job using both her deductive reasoning skills and critical thinking skills (and she laughed quite a bit as well!) After several rounds of Headbands, we transitioned to a literacy game called Context Clues: Pirate Treasure. In the game, players must make their way across a tropical island in a search for gold. Each player reads different story cards with short passages and must use context clues to answer the questions. Baylie did very well finding the clues within the text to help her answer the questions correctly.
