2016 New Year Number of the Day

A great math activity to start the 2016 New Year is to make 2016 the Number of the Day.

I did this last year and it worked a treat! So of course I had to share it this year!

You can make your own and select the skills that suit the abilities of your kids

or you can use the ready made posters or worksheets that I have created for the new 2016 year.

 

2016 New Year Number of the Day Sheets and Posters

 

New Year 2016 Number of the Day

 

I have created 2 versions of the 2016 Number of the Day - a basic version and a more complex advanced version.

Each is in black and white to be used as a worksheet and also color which can be used as a poster or projected onto your smartboard.

I know that you will want to use these again next year so I have added versions for 2017-2020 and also a blank version so that you can add any year that you like!

These are available from my Teachers Pay Teachers Store at

New Year Dice Game

My favorite math games are ones that are really simple to prepare, simple to learn and simple to play.

This game is ideal for the New Year and can be set up in a second! :)

 

To play the 2016 dice game you will need to write 20 and 16 twice on a sheet of paper like the one below.

There are 2 versions of the game.

Basic game - Players take turns to roll 5 dice and add the numbers. If they add to 20, the player covers 20 or crosses it out. If they add to 16, the player covers or crosses out 16. The first player to cover both is the winner.  

 

 

 

Advanced game - If you really want them to think, then have each player roll 3 dice. They then have to create an equation using the 3 dice to make 20 or 16. For example, if a player rolls 1, 3 and 4, they could make (1+3)x4 to make 16. They then cover or cross out the 16. First player to cover both 20 and 16 is the winner.

 

So simple but great math practice! :)

New Year Math Games Freebie

It is always exciting moving into a new year and I am particularly excited about moving into 2013 as 13 is my favorite number!

So... to celebrate the start of 2013 I thought the kids might enjoy some math games based on 2013.

 

There are 3 math board games in this set.

Happy New Year 2013 challenges the players to find combinations of 3 numbers that add to 20 or 2 numbers that add to 13!

 

Happy New Year 2013 Odds and Evens Addition Game has the players racing around the board adding 2 numbers and identifying them as odd or even. The first to reach the snowman is the winner!

 

 

Happy New Year 2013 Odds and Evens Multiplication Game is played in a similar way but the players multiply 2 numbers and then identify them as odd or even.
