[1 less than, 2 less than] SCOOT!

Mrs. White was wishing for a less than SCOOT game.

Since it was her birthday yesterday, I thought I'd be nice and make her one.  ;)

Of course, since we teach at the same school, this will also benefit my class, and Ms. Jones' class. 

The game pieces have a series of pictures with one or two crossed out at the end.

The recording sheet has 2 sections.

The first is:

____ less than ____ is _____.

The other is:
_____ - _____ = _____.

This gives our kiddos practice not only visualizing the less than fact, but actually writing the subtraction equation for that fact, a skill that is sometimes pretty tough for our firsties to acquire.

If you're interested in the game pieces (there are only 12, so this could be used smaller group or as a partner activity) and the recording sheet, they are HERE.

It's a PDF file containing both the game pieces and the recording sheet. 

If you download this game, please leave a comment of thanks and a Happy Birthday wish for Mrs. White.  I wonder if this means I don't have to make her favorite lemon cake?!
