Now let’s take a closer look at some of the board games that are included!
Counting and Cardinality
The Counting and Cardinality Kindergarten Math Board Games help students understand basic number concepts including counting, quantity recognition, number order and comparing numbers and quantities up to ten. Here are a few examples of some of the board games you’ll find in the Counting and Cardinality standards.
K.CC.A.1
Count to 100 by ones and by tens.
K.CC.A.2
Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).
K.CC.A.3
Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
K.CC.B.4
Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.
K.CC.B.5
Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1-20, count out that many objects.
K.CC.C.6
Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.
K.CC.C.7
Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
In the Operations and Algebraic Thinking Kindergarten Math Board Games, students practice the skills of adding and subtracting within 10 using drawings, solving words problems, breaking apart numbers and fluently adding and subtracting within 5. Here are a couple of the board games from each standard.
K.OA.A.1
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
K.OA.A.2
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
K.OA.A.3
Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
K.OA.A.4
For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
K.OA.A.5
Fluently add and subtract within 5.
Number and Operations in Base Ten
In the Kindergarten Math Board Games for Number and Operations in Base Ten, students learn all about place value of tens and ones for teen numbers. Here are the board games for this standard.
K.NBT.A.1
Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
Measurement and Data
The Measurement and Data Kindergarten Math Board Games offer students the opportunities to practice identifying measurable attributes of objects, comparing attributes of objects and categorizing and counting objects in groups.
K.MD.A.1
Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
K.MD.A.2
Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/”less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
K.MD.B.3
Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
Geometry
In the Geometry Kindergarten Math Board Games, students practice identifying positions of shapes compared to other objects, correctly name shapes regardless of their orientation or size, identify shapes as either 2D or 3D, compare shapes and build shapes. These games are sure to be a hit in your classroom as your students have fun exploring shapes! Here are a few of the Geometry Games.
K.G.A.1
Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
K.G.A.2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
K.G.A.3
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
K.G.B.4
Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/”corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
K.G.B.5
Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
K.G.B.6
Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?”
