Second Grade Math Fact Fluency Games

CHOP/Cover-Up Decide on the number of cubes you will use for today’s game. Player 1 hides a stack with that number of cubes behind their back. Player 2 says “Chop the blocks.” Player 1 shows Player 2 one part of the chopped set of cubes. After counting the shown cubes, Player 1 tells Player 2 how many blocks are hidden. Player 1 and 2 then switch jobs. Cover-Up works the same way, just with blocks covered up by a paper bowl or plate.
