I love searching for resources to use on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. That’s probably why I enjoy maintaining this blog so much. Since I have a 7 year old daughter, a lot of the resources I post here are for primary-aged children. My task this morning was to find an interactive game that will help my daughter find compliments of 10. She’s in the first grade and she’s doing quite well with her numbers but I really want her to know the compliments of ten because that can help in so many different areas with our base ten system of numbers.
The first thing I did was to search my blog to see if I already posted about any sites that had what I was looking for. I used the search box on the right-hand side of my blog to locate posts on my blog. I found the ICT games site that I posted on October 21, 2007. It has some really fun games for kids but it didn’t have any games that helped children add up to ten.
I then searched Google using the key words (interactive "add up to ten"). Notice that I put the add up to ten phrase in quotations. This ensures that Google will find pages that has these four words grouped together. I used "interactive" because this helps find resources that work with the SMART Board. I didn’t see many good results so I added the word "math" to make my results more specific. Here are my results:
I actually checked all of the first three results and I found exactly what I was looking for on the third result "Math Games." The list of games on this site was extensive and I found the game "Compliments of 10" which does exactly what I want. Here’s a screen shot of the game:
This game works perfect with the SMART Board since all you have to do is touch on the number that is a complement of ten. I can’t wait until my daughter gets home from school!
