Connect 4 Addition Dash
Equipment list
Enough printed / laminated copies of the Connect 4 table sheet (attached here) for your class to work in groups of 4 for this activity.
Use sheet protectors if you do not wish to laminate.
Explanation
Note: the attached Connect 4 sheet is specific to addition.
Arrange class into groups of 4.
Groups line up along a starting line.
Students place their Connect 4 table sheets and markers at a reasonable distance from the starting line.
2 students from each group move to their Connect 4 sheet and circle 2 numbers from the bottom row. They add those 2 numbers together and then circle the sum in the large Connect 4 chart using their pair's colored marker. They move back to their starting position.
The next group of 2 from each team move to their Connect 4 sheet and change one of the numbers in the bottom row. They then add the new numbers and circle the sum of the new number combination in the large Connect 4 chart using their pair's colored marker. They then move back to their starting position.
The process continues until the team has circled 4 numbers in a row in the Connect 4 chart.
Once teams have accomplished this, they can start again.
