This week I gave students dominoes to use to make math problems from. I modeled it and then asked them to come up as many problems as they could. Some students did really well with this concept and were able to take the two numbers to make an addition or subtraction problem. However, many students also used completely different numbers than the ones on their domino. If the domino had 2 dots on top and 3 dots on the bottom, they could write 3+2; 2+3, 5-2, or 5-3, but for some reason I was seeing a couple students write 10-7, 9-3, and so on. I'm not sure where those numbers came from but it is a possibility they were just focusing on making the different math problems and not on using the correct corresponding numbers.
