2nd Grade Gameboard Example:
The game card doesn't seem to open. Suggestions?
ReplyDeleteThe cards are PDF documents, so you may need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them. You might also try another browser to see if you have any better luck.
ReplyDeleteI will keep working on this but both Chrome and Explorer give the message that the page cannot open or the connection was lost.
DeleteHi Jerri,
DeleteI just added some alternate links to the Game Board page. Hopefully they will work for you.
- Tammy
Thanks Tammy! The alternate links worked! :-)
DeleteYay! Glad to hear it!
DeleteWhere is the alternate link? I am unable to open the game board either. Says page cannot be displayed.
DeleteJust scroll to the bottom of the "Print Gameboards" page to see the alternate link. If you can't get it, send me an email and I'll send the files to you that way: tammyw at essdack.org
DeleteIs there a parent letter to send home with the gameboard so the parents understand what to do?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea! I'll try to get one added to the gameboard page within the next few hours. Thanks!
DeleteIs the contest available to Canadian students?
ReplyDeleteSure! The contest is open to everyone!
DeleteYou have a typo on the 5th grade game board, next to the snowflake, under "missing" you have two i's in the word division
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara. It should be fixed now!
DeleteWhat a GREAT idea! My multiagers LOVE the site and will even choose to work on it during Free Choice Time!! Thanks for making challenging math fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to this and not quite sure how it all works. My daughter brought home the game board and the first square says to read and do "Math Potatoes", where do I find this?
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Just go to gregtangmath.com and click "Books" at the top. You'll see "Math Potatoes" as one of the options. The other activities will be in the "Games" or the "Kakooma" section. Hope you have fun!
ReplyDeleteDoes the snowflake on the game board stand for anything?
ReplyDeleteNo. It is just a free space! :-)
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteMy son completed the course and it says return the completed game board however its not mentioned where to return.
If done as a class activity, your son should return the signed gameboard to his teacher. If it was done as an independent activity, just make sure you fill out the form on this site to enter him in the drawing.
DeleteThanks for the prompt response, I appreciate.
ReplyDeleteMy son enjoyed and now he wants to try next grade challenge.. :)
