Happy Thursday! Only one more day until the weekend and I am sure you all, like me, are super excited! Today I am linking up with Laura at Corkboard Connections: Super Math Centers Linky Party. This game is something I shared over at Klinger Cafe as a guest blogger and I wanted the chance to share it on my own blog too. Now is the perfect opportunity.
The game is called Wacky War. It is played exactly like the card game war, but with an added twist. Instead of having the person with the higher number keep the cards, the
person who can give the sum or product first, depending on grade level, gets to
keep the cards! There are two versions, one for addition and one for addition or multiplication. The first set I created, for addition only, has my own version of a tens frame for those kindergarten and first grade friends who may need a visual to help them add the two numbers together. This set goes to ten. The second set can be used for addition or multiplication because they have a star in the middle of the card that has nothing to do with the number on the actual card. They just add a little fancy. This set goes to twelve. Cards
Hopefully you can use one of these versions of Wacky War!

Howdy! Happy weekend to all my friends out there in blogland! I was so excited to post about using binder pouches to organize centers yesterday. Afterward, I pinned it and just about jumped up and down every time someone else pinned it! So exciting to have an idea that someone else likes or finds useful! And now onto why y'all are here. My very first FREEBIE! Because I am not in the classroom this year, it is difficult for me to come up with freebies to make. However, counting coins is something that I think all kiddos need extra practice with. So, I went in that direction for this freebie. This is a matching center and includes a recording sheet and even a BONUS question. My little smartie mcfarties (yes, I come up with the most brilliant nicknames) always loved a bonus question! I hope this downloads easy peasy and is useful to someone out there. Have a great weekend bloggy friends!
