Teachers, save “OPTIONAL : Math Out and About: Outside N…” to assign it to your class.

Have fun as a family playing outside with chalk and numbers. 1. Use chalk to draw a large number line and write numbers 0-10 on the number line. 2. 🗣 Take turns thinking of addition or subtraction equations to solve (ex. 3+2=5 or 3-1=4). 3. Start at one number of the equation and hop spaces so you end up on the sum. (For 3 + 2, you start at 3 and jump 2 spaces to land at the sum 5.) Mix it up. Skip, walk, bear crawl or make up your own movement. 4. Press the Add button. 5. Take a photo or video of you playing this game. 6. Press the check to add to your journal. Optional: Have younger children recognize and find numbers. You can use rocks as counters if needed. Expand your number line into two or three-digit numbers for older children or do multiplication and division equations. 👨‍👧 Family Why: Using your whole body while learning, improves memory and attention. This activity increases blood flow and oxygen in the brain and is a fun way to build math fact fluency.
