Description
The Plus and Minus Game is a game in which a given ‘game number’ is altered by direction cards (the game cards) that provide the direction to add or subtract from the game number.
The purpose of the Plus and Minus Game is to create conversations that will get students involved in thinking. The students can be right or wrong safely. This process builds courage and willingness to be involved in the learning. The by-product will be students handling the foundational understanding that numbers change: they can get bigger or smaller depending on the mathematical process, i.e. the plus or minus directions on the game card.
