Playing Arithmetic Bingo

Video Transcript

"My name is Courtney on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip I'm going to show you an easy version of BINGO to play with your child to again practice addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. The first thing we're going to do is take a blank piece of paper and fold it in half, you're going to fold it in half again and one more time. This is going to give you eight spaces and if you want you can take a marker and draw over your creases so that your board spaces are more defined. Then we'll need to take another piece of paper and fold it in the same eight pieces and cut it apart, like I've done here. On the pieces that we've cut we're going to write equations. Again it depends on what you want to practice, addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. In this case we'll practice subtraction. So I'm going to write an equation, seven minus three, and I'm not going to write the answer on the cards. Now after you've done this you're going to want to put the answers on the board in any order. And you would do this until you filled up the whole board. Then when you play BINGO you're child will turn over a card, solve the equation and put a marker on their place on the board. When they get in a row they say BINGO. This is a fun way to practice math equations."
