Granny Prix...a Room 108 Favorite!!

Please ask your child about Granny Prix...a website we visit almost every day to practice our simple addition facts! I was turned on to this site by another kindergarten colleague while I was training as a facilitator for our last Superintendent's Day on the New York State Math Common Core Standards.

The site offers fact practice in addition, subtraction and multiplication facts. According to the new set of learning standards recently adopted by New York State, children in Kindergarten will be responsible for fluently adding and subracting within 5 in order to be a successful math student at the first grade level.

The children love designing their own GRANNY and wheel chair and racing to find all the sums to win the race.

Take some time to experience this motivating activity your child loves.

You can find the link below...or to the right as part of my Educational Links section.

Enjoy!!
