Math: Homelink 2.6_ "Domino Facts"- Using the dots on dominoes to generate facts, the children make two adding facts with the halves of the domino as addends and the total number of dots as the sum. They will get two turn-around facts for adding. If they seem confused  by the subtracting, you can remind them that the largest number ( the sum or answer) from adding will be the top of the subtraction problem and will have one of the smaller numbers taken away from it.
