Hint! There are 2 parts to this activity. This is part 1.
Imagining dots – part 1
Duration: 2:05
Adapted from Kazemi and Hintz
Use your imagination to draw a picture of how you saw the dots in the video.
Hint! Draw a few pictures to show some of the different ways you saw the dots.
Example of how you might draw the dots
Watch the next video. This is part 2 of the activity.
Imagining dots – part 2
Duration: 8:55
Draw some other ways to see the dots.
Michael saw chunks of 6 and Penny saw chunks of 4 when they looked at the dots. Do you see any other chunks hidden in the dots?
Ask someone else to describe how they saw the dots. Draw a picture of their way of seeing the dots.
Draw a different collection of dots. Show them to someone and see if they can close their eyes and imagine the dots.
Number – Array bingo
Watch the video to learn how to play.
Hint! The instructions are also below if you need them.
Array bingo
Duration: 8:07
Instructions
Getting started
Each player creates a gameboard using 6 array cards.
Set aside the remaining array cards.
Place the descriptor cards in a pile, face down.
Matching arrays
Turn over a descriptor card. If a player has the matching array card on their gameboard, they may turn the array card over.
If both players have the matching array card, they can both turn over their cards.
If neither player has the matching array card, turn over the next descriptor card in the pile.
Making a match
Players can use the commutative property to rotate the arrays, so they can make a match.
For example, they could take an array that was structured as 3 twos and rotate it to show 2 threes.
How to win
The winner is the first player to turn over all their cards and say ‘bingo!’
Reflection:
What arrays did you rotate to make a match?
Did rotating (moving around) the arrays change the total number of dots? Why/Why not?
What strategies did you use to determine how many dots there are in the arrays?
Were there any arrays where you knew how many dots there were? Which ones?
Challenge!
Swap the piles of cards used in the game. Make a gameboard using the descriptor cards and turn over the array cards instead.
