Students can use a variety of mathematical models to create the given number. This gives them hands-on practice with number composition and decomposition, as they begin to form basic addition and subtraction fact families. In this case, students are asked to show ways to make 5. Using Snap Cubes, the students can use two different coloured counters to show their work.

Use some holiday border for the board, make your own dice, and even personalize your game pieces with Colour-Me cutouts. How to Play: Students will roll the dice, and move their game piece to the next matching colour ornament on the board. Similar to how you play Candy Land. The first to the end of the board wins! This is a great game to reinforce colours and counting.
