How to Ready and Play Our Making Ten Game
This making ten game is ready with just a bit of preparation. Here’s how to get your students making tens!
Preparation
- Download the Making a Ten game in the format of your choice.
- Print the game board, cards, answer key, game pieces and number cube. We recommend printing on cardboard for durability and longevity.
- Cut apart the cards and game pieces, and assemble the number cubes.
How to Play
- Students place game tokens at ‘Start’ and the cards on the ‘Draw Pile’ space. Player 1 rolls the number cube and moves forward the same number of spaces.
- The player follows the directions on the space.
- If the player lands on a picture, they will choose a card and solve the equation. A correct answer allows them to stay on the space, while an incorrect answer will send them back to their previous space.
- Players take turns. The player who gets to the ‘Finish’ space first, wins!
