How to Use This Pack

Six pages of gingerbread house building. Page 1 is Roll and Build a Gingerbread House, a dice game for two: each number on the die builds a part (1 the walls, 2 the roof, 3 the door, 4 the windows, 5 the icing, 6 the candy), traced on a dashed house, with a tally mark for every roll. Page 2 has three houses, each with three numbers to 20 to cut out and glue on its window, door and window, smallest on the left. Page 3 has two houses with a space for each candy: every gumdrop and peppermint to cut out has an adding fact within 10, and it is glued where its answer is. Page 4 gives every roof ten gumdrops, five up each side: draw the missing ones and write how many more. Page 5 puts ten gumdrops on every roof and some peppermints on the walls: 10 and some more is a number to 19. Page 6 is page 2 again with numbers to 100.

In the Classroom

Play page 1 in pairs at a math center, then ask who needed the most rolls and which part was hardest to get. Before pages 2 and 6, line up three number cards on the board and ask which is smallest and which is biggest. On page 3 the gumdrops of both houses are the same shape, and so are the peppermints, so children have to add to know where each candy belongs. Page 5 goes well with a real ten frame: fill it with ten counters for the roof, then count on for the peppermints.

At Home

Play the dice game together and count the tally marks at the end. On page 4, count the gumdrops up one side of the roof and down the other, then count on to 10 for the missing ones.

Tips for Success

Build from the bottom up: the walls first, then the roof
Smallest on the left, biggest on the right
Add first, then find the answer on a house
Five gumdrops up each side of a roof make 10

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

K.CC.B.4a Count objects by saying numbers in order and matching exactly one number to each object, none skipped or counted twice.
K.CC.B.4b Know the final number in a count gives the total, and the total stays the same however the objects are arranged or counted.
K.CC.B.5 Tell how many: up to 20 objects in a line, array or circle, or 10 scattered. Also count out a requested number up to 20.
K.OA.A.2 Solve story problems and add or subtract with totals up to 10, modeling them with objects or drawings.
K.OA.A.4 For a number from 1 to 9, find the partner that adds with it to 10, and show it in a picture or number sentence.
K.NBT.A.1 Build and break apart 11 to 19 as ten ones plus more ones, recording with drawings or equations like 14 = 10 + 4.
1.OA.C.6 Add and subtract to 20, working fluently within 10, with strategies like counting on, making ten, fact families and doubles plus one.
1.NBT.A.1 Count up to 120 from any starting number, and read, write and use numerals up to 120 to show how many objects.
1.NBT.B.2b Know that 11 through 19 are each made of one ten plus 1 to 9 ones.
1.NBT.B.3 Compare two-digit numbers by looking at their tens and ones, and write the result with >, = or <.
1.MD.C.4 Sort and show data in up to three groups, then answer questions about the total, each group's count, and how groups differ.
