IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Today, we learned a new math game called burglar! Students are put in partners and given number sets that have 10-20 numbers. They line their numbers up in a row, then take turns turning their back and taking one of their partners numbers. Once the number has been taken, students mix their partner’s numbers up and invite them to turn back around to see what number is missing! Students loved playing the game and the excitement of figuring out which of their numbers was gone. Not only is this helping us with number recognition, but also with ordering and naming numbers. This would be an easy game to recreate at home with handmade cards or playing cards!
