HOW TO PLAY EACH OF THE 3 GAMES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

#1 Beat You to 10!<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>\n

This math game focuses on very basic one-to-one correspondence, counting, and the foundation of addition through the use of visual \u201cmore or less\u201d representations. It can be used as a math tub\/work station, as an \u201cI\u2019m done, now what?\u201d activity, or anything else you can think of! There are two ways to play:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Option 1: <\/em>In partners, students take turns rolling a single die <\/strong>and colouring in the corresponding number of boxes on their side (i.e. either the boxes under \u201cPlayer 1\u201d or \u201cPlayer 2\u201d). For example, if Player 1 rolls 2 dots on the die, they will colour in 2 boxes. The first player to colour in 10 boxes wins.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

OPTION #2: <\/em>In partners, students take turns rolling two dice<\/strong>, add up the dots, and colour the corresponding number of boxes. For example, if Player 1 rolled 2 dots on one die and 3 dots on the other, they will colour 5 boxes. Obviously this way takes significantly less time to finish the game and reach 10, but it\u2019s a great way to introduce\/practice simple addition.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

TIP: <\/strong>print the games on cardstock (or back it on colourful construction paper) and laminate it. That way students can colour their boxes with whiteboard markers and play over and over again!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

TRICK: <\/strong>You may have noticed the snap cubes pictures on the product cover; When my students play this game, I have them roll the die, then build a tower representing the number they rolled before colouring it in on their worksheet. For example, if a student rolls two dots on the die, they will snap together 2 cubes to begin their tower, then colour in 2 boxes on the worksheet. That way you hit various learning styles by incorporating a hands-on element through building\u2026plus it adds to overall game time.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

#2 10 Tools<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is another super simple game to practice addition up to 10, but this time, with the use of 10-frames\u2026yay for subitizing!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You can play by yourself, but it\u2019s more fun in pairs. After you\u2019ve printed the game board (you can also print the coloured version and laminate it for repeat reuse), here\u2019s how to play:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

1.Each player will have 10 counters<\/strong>, each their own colour (you can use anything from bingo chips and counting bears, to ripped up pieces of scrap paper). E.g. if Player 1 has 10 blue bingo chips, then Player 2 will have 10 green bingo chips.<\/p>\n

2.Play Rock, Paper, Scissors <\/strong>to decide who goes first (PSST: whoever goes first is always the winner but they don\u2019t catch on to this, so make sure they alternate who goes first!).<\/p>\n

3.Player 1 will place 1 bingo chip on any<\/strong> of the toolbox ten-frames, then place another on a tool box ten-frame to make 10<\/strong>. For example, if they choose to place their first chip on a ten-frame with 6 dots, then they will place their second chip on a ten-frame with 4 dots. <\/p>\n

4.Then it\u2019s Player 2\u2019s turn to place their first bingo chip on any toolbox, then on a second to make 10.<\/p>\n

5.Continue taking turns placing down two chips at a time and covering two toolboxes that add up to 10 until all toolboxes are covered. Whoever makes 10 the most wins <\/strong>(i.e. whoever has covered the most toolboxes). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

#3 Hundreds Chart Puzzles<\/ins><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is one more super easy, low-prep (or no prep, depending on the option you choose!) math game. 100 Chart Puzzles work great as \u201cI\u2019m done, now what?\u201d early finisher activity. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

OPTION #1:<\/em> no prep<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022Print off copies of one of the 100 chart (lots of options on the following pages). I suggest coloured paper on the black and white versions to brighten things up!<\/p>\n

\u2022Have them available at a station for students to design their own puzzles and cut out according to their own pre-drawn \u201cmaze\u201d template<\/p>\n

\u2022Once apart, they can work to put it back together either on their own, or switch puzzles with a partner.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

OPTION #2:<\/em> low-prep<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022Same as above, but you create pre-made puzzles, each cut up in a different way. In this case, I like to laminate them as well to provide durability and to be able to reuse them year after year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s up to you how difficult or easy you make them (see photo\u2026some have larger parts (i.e. cut up into less pieces), and some have pieces as small as one number.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
