Hi All,
Time for a card game? This is a great one for students in Grades 1 - 2, or anyone working on basic addition. Students will use addition, mental math, missing addends, subtraction, and algebraic thinking. The focus of the game
is on making ten, a big landmark “friendly” number.
Players take turns picking cards from the deck. When you
pick a card you lay it on the table flat in front of you for all
to see.
As players pick and grow their hand, they try to identify cards that will add up
to 10. They can use multiple addends to do this. If you can make ten, you explain to
your partners how ("I got a 3 and a 4 and another 3. 3 + 4 + 3 = 10.") and put those cards aside while you give yourself 10 points. Keep playing until the deck is finished. The player with the most points (ways to make ten) wins.
In Make Ten Stealer Style, when it is your turn to pick from the deck, if you see a card
that another player has that combined with a card or cards of yours that will
immediately help you make ten you are allowed to steal it. If you do this, this is considered your
turn and you do not pick a card from the deck. Play the regular version first and then introduce Stealer Style. It quickly becomes a class favorite.
All the best,
Bob
