Rules and Play
1.
This
is a strategy game that uses addition.
2.
The
object of the addition game is to earn the most points.
3.
Play
begins with the dealer placing a well-shuffled deck, face down in a pack in the
center of the playing area. The dealer
then places 13 cards, face down, in a circle or necklace.
4.
Players/teams
take turns picking up 1 or 2 cards at a time.
Play must proceed counterclockwise from the starting point to the
finish. Scores are recorded after each
play. In addition games, scores for a
turn are the sum of the face value of any cards that are drawn. Scores are cumulative. For example if a player selected one card on
the first round and it was a jack, the score for that turn would be 11 and the
running score would be 11. Players/teams also receive a bonus of 50
points for taking the last card. A
new set of 13 cards is dealt for each game.
5.
In
addition games all players/teams start with a score of 0. The person/team with
the highest final score wins. In this game, card values are used to add the
score successively.
Variations
·
Change
the number of cards in the circle. For
example, use twenty-one cards.
·
For
younger players use a smaller set of cards.
Also note face cards can be removed or given a value of 10 and
operations restricted to addition or subtraction.
Math
Students have completed their multiplication assessment this week. We have sent home their assessment and we would like to have you go through the questions with your child. There will be no Weekend Journal this week. We encourage you to go through each question with your child and let them explain the strategies with you. Science: Rocks and Minerals
Students continued to work on their Google slideshow with their partners. They continued to learned to collaborate through the use of technology as well as discussions among themselves. A project rubric is attached to their slideshow presentation, students are encouraged to review it. The project will be due on March 14th for assessment. Working with Google slides, students have the opportunity to work at home and collaborate together in and out of school.
