How to Use This Pack

Five games for adding and taking away within 10, each on its own page with its rules at the top for the teacher to read aloud. Roll and Add needs a die and the paper clip spinner on the page: children add the dots and the number (sums 2 to 10) and color the sum on a four in a row board where each sum shows up as often as it can be made. Spin and Take Away has two spinners, 5 to 10 and 0 to 5, so an answer is never below 0. Race to the Top needs two dice and crayons: take the smaller number away from the bigger one and color a box over the answer from 0 to 5. Frog Hop is a board game for 2 to 4 players with 15 facts within 5, adding and taking away mixed; a partner checks each answer on the answer sheet. Make 10 Memory is 20 cards from 0 to 10, each with a ten frame: two cards make 10 when their dots fill a whole frame.

In the Classroom

Teach one game at a time to the whole class, playing it against the class on the board, then put it in a math center for the week. Print the boards on card stock or slip them into sheet protectors and play with dry-erase markers or counters. Keep the Make 10 cards in a zip bag with their rules page. Ask children to say each fact out loud as they play: "4 and 3 make 7."

At Home

Play Race to the Top or Roll and Add with dice from a board game at home. Count on from the bigger number together: "6, then 7, 8, 9." Play Make 10 Memory after dinner, or Go Fish with the same cards: ask for the card that makes 10 with one in your hand.

Tips for Success

Say the whole fact out loud: "5 take away 2 is 3"
Count on from the die instead of counting every dot
Two cards that make 10 fill a whole ten frame
Check your partner's answer with the answer sheet
Play a game more than once: you get faster each time
