Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What would happen if you had 3 balloons to share with a friend? What would be different if you had 4 balloons to share with a friend? What is an addition table? Why is 9+4 the same as 10+3?

After the Game

Explain how the game showed you if a number was even or odd. What was the trick that the game taught you for multiplying by 10? Why is "making a ten" when adding or "making ten groups" when multiplying a good strategy? When multiplying by four, explain why you would multiply by two and then multiply by two again? What kinds of numbers can we add together to get even numbers? What numbers can we add together to get odd numbers?
