Rocco's Dot Cubes and Sums

Rocco the raccoon helps first graders turn dot cubes into addition. Students count along to 39 and find the missing number, match pairs of dot cubes to expressions like 4 + 3, write their own expressions in a number sentence, build a sum on a ten frame with two colors of counters, and play Check It Off with number cards. Every direction is read aloud, and every wrong answer gets a spoken hint. About 10 minutes.
