Cross Canada Cards

This bag is for a grade four classroom.  It is a game that is designed to be a support system that can go home with the children to reinforce or discover math concepts and philosophy.  The way the game is set up is in five categories: Social Studies, Fractions, Geometry, Patterns, and miscellaneous.  Although, the two apparent disciplines this game touches on are Social Studies and Math, it also has a Language Art, Creative Art/Expression, and Music.  These connections are built into the five categories.  In a brief description, the five categories are there to allow the children to choose the categories that they wish to play from.  The game "Cross Canada Cards" tries to evoke problem solving and process questions.  Following one will be able to find instructions and lists of materials on how to replicate this game.

**NOTE**  We have worked many hours at putting this game together and our only request is that if you do replicate this bag, give credit where credit is due.
