Goal:

Providing an alternative way to practice mathematical concepts

Materials Needed:

1. Domino set for each student
2. Scratch paper

Explanation/Summary:

Students will take the set of dominos and start at the domino that says “START.” Then they will complete the problem and find the answer to the problem on another domino. The next problem will be written on that domino as well and students will work to complete that problem next. This is basically a matching activity for students to get an answer, look for the answer, and then start to complete another problem. When they get the answer and that domino has “FINISH” on it – they are done.
