Though young math beasts won't recognize the numbers 1, 3, and 9 as anything special (and that's fine), they are in fact what mathematicians (and middle and high school students) recognize as powers of 3. In the context of Wrecking Ball, an equation like 1 = 1 tells us, "I just need to knock down a 1 to get a total of 1." No addition or subtraction needed! Powers of Three: In fact, the equals sign is showing that both sides are the same. An equation like 1=1 may seem silly or meaningless if you think an equals sign is asking you to give the answer. The equation 2 + 2 = 4 tells us that two groups of 2 is the same amount as one group of 4. ![]() Equations:īecause kids so often see math problems in the form 2 + 2 = _, they can mistakenly think that an equals sign means, essentially, "what's the answer?" In fact, an equals sign is a way of showing that two amounts are the same! The amount on the left of the equals sign is the same as the amount on the right, like a balance scale. So in adding 9+3, they would say "10, 11, 12" holding up a finger each time until they have 3 fingers held up. When adding, see if your child can start at the higher number, and count up from there. When first learning addition and subtraction, it's fine to count on fingers. When adding 9, 3, and 1, for example, it can help to add the 9 and the 1 first to get 10, then add 3 more to get 13. Look for ways to help your child with addition and subtraction. Play as you would for regular Wrecking Ball to knock down the numbers, but when you put them on your score card, use only addition (not subtraction). (And see our game Trashketball for more ideas.) Addition Only:įor a simpler, shorter game, label your blocks with the numbers 1, 2, and 4 (instead of 1, 3, and 9), and write the numbers 1 to 7 on your score card (instead of 1 to 13). ![]() Set out three trashcans or buckets and label them 1, 3, and 9. Find the right distance so knocking down the numbers isn't too hard or too easy. Not up for making a pendulum? (You're missing out!) Set up your blocks (or dominoes or whatever you're using) at the end of a hallway and use a tennis ball to bowl them down. So if a player hits 3 and 1, but already has 3 + 1 = 4 and 3 - 1 = 2, they could use just the 3 or just the 1. Let players choose to use only some of the numbers they hit on a turn.If the wrecking ball hits more than one number on a swing, count both.Let each player have up to 4 swings on a turn.If the numbers are too hard to hit, move them a little closer to the pendulum or a little closer to each other.Change the Rules:īe flexible so the game works for you and your math beast. This version of the game is also shorter, which can be helpful for younger kids. Players still take turns, but work together to cross off all the numbers.
