Hungry Fish

We’ve been using and enjoying the Hungry Fish app for our math warm-ups in KB.  With the ipad plugged into the Elmo,  students can see what the one child who’s been invited to control the game, is doing.  The game is set up so that it is similar to the number bond strategy that we’ve spent a lot of time focusing on.  This strategy is reinforced as students need to collect the two numbers that total the amount on the given fish in order for the fish to be able to eat it.  If the students put two numbers together that do not total the amount that the fish needs, it will still display the number that has been made.  Excellent for reinforcing addition, number recognition, number sentences, and as a precursor to word problems.
