How to Ready and Play Our Making a Ten Game

This making a ten game is ready with just a bit of preparation. Here’s how to get your students making tens!

Preparation:

1. Download the adding numbers game board resource in the format of your choice. 
2. Print the game board, cards, answer key, game pieces, and number cube. We recommend printing on cardstock for durability and longevity.
3. Cut apart the cards and game pieces, and assemble the number cube.
   

How to Play:

1. 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.
2. The player follows the directions on the space.
3. 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. 
4. Players take turns. The player who gets to the “Finish” space first, wins!
