What kids do

“The caller says a number and 10 more or 10 less. Work it out and cover the answer. Four in a row wins!”

Teacher tip

Use a hundreds chart to show ten more and ten less.

How to use it

  • Play a practice round first so kids learn the routine.
  • Let a student be the caller once kids know the game.
  • Slide it into a sheet protector so kids can play again with a dry-erase marker.

Watch for

Callers going too fast. Pause long enough for everyone to find the answer.

Talk about it

  • Did you solve any in your head?
  • What would you change to make it harder?
