Shaker Addition
TOP-IT
 Place 20 pennies or counters in a pile.
 For each round, players take turns shaking and rolling 2
dice, adding numbers using any method except a
calculator to figure out the sum.
--Each player MUST state the whole Math Fact (ie. 6 + 2 = 8,
3 + 4 = 7, 2 + 1 = 3, etc.)
--Saying the wrong sum disqualifies a player for that round. This
encourages children to check every sum, not just their own. A
disqualified player may still check others’ responses.
 The player with the highest sum for each round takes a
penny or a counter from a pile. If there are ties, each
winning player takes a penny or a counter.
 The player with the most pennies or counters at the end
of a given time wins!
