All you do is take 5 connecting cubes or unifix cubes or 5 pennies (for practicing facts from 0-5)
1. Partners sit across from each other.
2. Partner 1 takes the cube train and puts it behind their back. They say "1--2--3--SNAP!" and (still behind their back) break the cube train into 2 pieces.
3. They scoop one hand around and show their partner. The partner says the math fact to tell the "hiding" number behind their partner's back. For example: "1 + 4 = 5" to tell his partner that he knows there are four behind her back.
4. The partner uncovers her hiding cubes and they switch roles. The point is for the facts to eventually become automatic, and they won't have to use their cube train to figure out the answer. Simple and fun!
