Games to Play:

Make 10

Lay out 25 cards face up in rows of 5 using number cards 0-10. Each partner takes a turn choosing 2 cards that will equal 10 when added together. The equation created is written in the students' math games notebook.

Fish for 10

Play like Go Fish, except that the students are trying to get a card from their partner so that they can make 10. (i.e., The student has the number 2 and asks for the number 8. If the partner doesn't have the number 8, then the first student takes a card from the pile.)
