Ice Cave



The Ice Cave is a location and an activity in JumpStart 2nd Grade. CJ and Edison are in the snow. In this activity, the bugs use ice cubes with addition, subtraction, and multiplication from 0 to 9. The user must select which numbered ice cubes for an accurate equation from zero to nine when placed in the grid making the bugs frozen. CJ and Edison use an example with ice cubes making the bug frozen. Once the bugs are frozen in the sixteen-unit grid, the ground opens and the ice cubes fall in with a map. The penguin throws a snowball and on the screen says "Good Job!" when the game is done. Click on a continent and CJ will tell what it is.

Introduction
At the beginning of the activity, the bug has the four on it. CJ puts the one cube in the column of the 4th row and Edison puts the three cube in the row of the 3rd column.

Example
CJ puts the one cube in the 4th row at the bottom of the column and Edison puts the three cube in the 3rd column in the middle right of the row. The bug comes with a four on it and it becomes frozen while the two ice cubes melt. The game will start with a bug coming.

Columns and Rows
The bugs with an answer on it will have two ice cubes to choose from. Addition, subtraction, or multiplication appears to put an ice cube in a column and a row to make the bug frozen in the ice. There are four columns and row rows in the sixteen-unit grid. Sixteen bugs become frozen when the activity is done and the penguin throws a snowball while the screen says "Good Job!" and the ice breaks as the ground opens while the ice cubes go in.
