We have also been playing in a tournament in class where the students have to say the answer faster than their opponet. This brings a lot of fun and competition to our classroom. We will be playing in a tournament with the other first grade classrooms in April, so KEEP PRACTICING.  Over spring break, start working on doubles 2+2, 4+4, etc. and sums of 10 (6+4,2+8, 7+3, 1+9, etc.)
