We have been learning about adding two digit numbers together. The strategy we learned this week is the traditional algorithm of adding ones and tens. Remember that we are learning different strategies to add double digit numbers because different brains learn different ways!

Today’s game is called Close Call.
Skills Focus: Addition of 2-digit numbers, mental math calculations and problem solving
Because the goal is to get as close to 100 as possible, kids have to really think about which cards to choose and what numbers to make with them.
How to Play Close Call:
How to Play Close Call:
The object of this game is to accumulate the highest score by coming closer to the goal than your opponent.
Start with a complete deck of cards. Ace = 1, Joker = 0 and all tens and other face cards are removed. Shuffle the deck and deal each player 6 cards. (If you do not have a deck of cards, roll a dice 4 times to get your digits.)
Players select 4 cards to create two 2-digit numbers.
Add the numbers together.
The object is to create two numbers that when added together come as close to 100 as possible, without going over.
Example:
Draw a 3, 6, 4, 9 from the deck. Make two 2-digit numbers that when added together will get close to 100.
36 + 49
Solve the equation using whichever strategy your brain likes best!
36 + 49= 85
Player 2's turn!
Which player was able to end with a sum closest to 100?
How to Win Close Call:
How to Win Close Call:
The player with the total closest to 100 wins the round and 1 point. In the event of a tie, each player receives a point.
After playing 5 rounds, the player with the most points wins.

How do polar animals survive the cold?
This mini-lesson explores how polar animals keep warm in the coldest regions on Earth. In the no-prep activity, My Tiny Winter Home, students use ideas from the mini-lesson to design a house that will keep them warm in a very cold climate.
Challenge: Think about how you could test your design to see if it would work for the animal!
