Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Find the missing number in addition sentences that make 10, matching indicator ค 1.1 ป.1/4, and learn the pairs that make ten, the basis for adding and subtracting past ten.

What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options each, finding the missing number in a + ? = 10 - 6 + ? = 10 is 4 - 8 + ? = 10 is 2 - 5 + ? = 10 is 5 - 9 + ? = 10 is 1 (0 is also offered) - 4 + ? = 10 is 6

How to use it in class

Use once children add within 10 confidently, to practise pairs that make ten. 5 minutes. - Before playing, hold up 6 fingers and ask "How many more to make ten?" - Play as a class on the screen; children show the answer on fingers together, then tap it - After question 6, point out that 6 + 4 and 4 + 6 are the same pair - If many miss the a + ? form, use a ten-frame and fill the empty boxes - Play it linked to a class and the scores go into the class gradebook.

Common sticking points

- Answering with a total, or adding the visible numbers, instead of finding what is missing, because the ? is not yet understood - In questions 1 and 6, choosing 5 out of habit from 5 + 5 - In question 5, choosing 0, thinking 9 is so close to 10 that nothing is needed
