HOW TO USE
WHAT'S INCLUDED
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Black & White Copies:
Print Gameboards B&W, 2 crayons, & provide spinner. Partners take turns. Decide who goes first. You are not moving markers around the gameboard, just follow the path and take your turn answering questions. On your turn, spin spinner, if for example you spin 2, answer the first 2 spaces, if answered correctly color in your 2 spaces with your color. (second chances may be determined before the game starts) If answered incorrectly partner may attempt to answer correctly and if they do they will color the space their color. If both players are incorrect, leave space uncolored or continue to take turns until answered correctly (get out the manipulatives to prove your answer). Then the turn goes to the next player, continue in this manner around the gameboard. When you reach to end, each player counts the number of spaces they captured or colored and the one with the most is the winner!
Colored Laminated Copies:
Follow the directions above, but instead of coloring in the spaces with crayons, use colored cubes for each player to leave on their spaces along the path. When finished they can count their cubes to see whose color has the most.
ADAPTIONS
•Use 2 colored bingo daubers for B&W copies.
•Choose a different spinner for your game.
•Use a die or number cube and play the game with a playing piece that you move around the board, if you answer incorrectly you have to stay back on the space you were on, first one to the finish wins. Its just that some of the game boards have fewer spaces so using a six sided die the game might be finished too quickly therefore you may want to use the spinner for smaller numbers.

Number Bonds Board Game Galaxy Quest
By LittleStreams
This game can be bought with 4 other board games for the price of buying just 3. Click here to see our Board Game Bundle
Galaxy Exploration is a Board Game that emulates Snakes & Ladders to help students exercise a knowledge of Number Bonds to 10 and 20. However, unlike Snakes & Ladders, we have added some other interesting elements to make a more competitive and fun game overall.
The game pack comes with 6 playable boards. Four are playable with either a 10-sided dice or the included spinner. Two are playable ONLY with a 6-sided dice just in case you need it. Of those six, half do not feature the Black Holes and Portals (Snakes and Ladders) to make a much faster game which is still great for the learning of Number Bonds.
In addition, the boards include 'Habitable Planets' and 'Gravity Slingshots', which force the player to take an extra turn, or miss a turn. A fun change from the norm!
If printed in full-colour, and laminated, the game will last for a very long time. The construction of this product is professional and clear and looks beautiful on thick card.
You can view the full game rules by downloading the product preview now.

The Answers Are... Integers Part 2: BTC Non-Curricular Thinking Task

"The Answers Are..." is a great Non-Curricular Thinking Task your secondary math students can all access, no matter their skill level. Each task card gives a number bank with 10 integers and 5 target answers your students must create. Using each number in the bank only one time each, students work in random teams of three to create all 5 expressions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. It's more challenging than you might think!
