Market Farm

We have been playing a new game during math centers called "Market Farm." The "manager" (the person who has the check mark card) picks a number and marks their order amount on the order form and circles what type of food they would like. They put the order form in the envelope and pass it to the "farmer" (the person with the hand card).

 The "farmer" has to fill the order they receive from the manager by counting the amount of cubes that the manager marked on the order form, into the bowl. Then they have to deliver the order to the Market.  The "manager" has to check the order to make sure that the "farmer" gave them the correct amount. the "manager" uses the counting board to place one cube on each dot for the appropriate number to check the order. Then the "manager" tells the farmer whether or not the order was correct and the "manager" makes one more order before the partners switch roles.
