Practicing Counting Backwards

After reading Mrs. Morrison's class blog Ms. Lirenman learned a new game to help us count backwards. This is a really important skill to help us learn to subtract.  To play the game the first person picks a number out of the bag.  Then we count backwards and pass the bag around. The person who says, "zero" received a tile.  The first person to get three tiles wins the game.  Here are a couple of pictures of playing. Once with the whole class, and the second one is with just a few of our classmates. Thank you Mrs. Morrison for teaching Ms. Lirenman such a great game.
