This is a fun card game you could play at home with your child. It is a game from the Défi math card game collection. It's played using cards 1 through 10, the objective being getting all the cards in the correct numerical order. You shuffle them and place them face down in a row. Any number of players could join (however it could get crowded with too many!). To start, the first player flips any card and then places it in it's corresponding spot according to whichever number it is. The card in its place gets flipped and so on until numbers 1 through 10 are in the correct order. If you flip a card and it goes into a spot that has no card to turn over, the dealer wins and you have to start all over again! The bingo markers are there to make counting easy in case there is an empty spot that does not get counted. Children begin to recognize numbers, reinforce counting skills and learn basic reasoning skills. It is also fun to win against the dealer and exciting to flip over the cards and see what is waiting on the other side!

I thought that this was an important to share as it shows how students demonstrate understanding of the topics discussed in class through their play and teacher observations and anecdotes are one of the ways we assess learning.
The three girls below were playing with the alphabet puzzle. They took out all the pieces and then took turns showing a piece ans asking whether it was a living or non-living thing. The game they were playing was initiated by them during free play time, they were taking what we are learning in class and transferring it to their play while also showing evidence of their learning. They were also practicing cooperation skills and turn taking, very nicely if I may add! Today, we learned how to play the green levels of the défi math game, Architek. It is essentially a 3D puzzle. As the students go through the cards, each puzzle gets trickier, requiring more skill and logic to complete the card successfully. The first cards tell us exactly what shapes we need to complete the puzzle and also have marks on the card to indicate where the shapes should go. As the difficulty increases, those two clues are eliminated. Gets quite tricky!
