We are inspired by our Mount Vernon Community of students, families, and staff who are showing great resilience, determination, and creativity to stay connected with one another and to support student learning. Their efforts to continue to make Every Day Count during this unprecedented time are amazing! Teaching & Learning staff are excited to share resources and ideas for staying connected and supporting student learning. Students are likely to hear from their classmates, teachers, and school sites with ways to stay engaged. Maintaining our sense of community supports our social-emotional health and will help each of us to remain engaged in learning. We hope you engage with and enjoy the ideas we post on our Every Day Counts! student learning blog. Stay tuned--we plan to begin posting on Monday, March 23rd! Many of the resources we will be sharing are available to all students via the MV TECHSMART K-12 DIGITAL LITERACY site.

4-2-2020 Practice Math with Dice Games

Dice Games are quick and entertaining! You can also develop number fluency and connect visuals with sums.
This  game can be modified for different levels of play. 
  • Each player will need 10 dice to start
  • Roll all 10 dice and set aside all the sets of dice that add up to 10. Record your points on a sheet of paper.
  • If you do not roll a set of 10, the next player takes a turn.
  • The first player to reach 150, wins!
Some additional ways to play:
  • Group dice into sets that add up to 15
  • Group dice into sets that add up to 20
  • Group dice into sets that have a product of 24
  • Ask ‘How many different ways can you roll 10 dice to make 55? Using just addition? What about using other operations?’
