Make Ten Clip Cards
Children learning to count and add their numbers will definitely benefit from this activity. They will use their reasoning to figure out how many more scoops they will need to make ten.
I like to prepare the kids before they begin clipping and counting with their cards. We play a quick addition game where I ask and show the numbers on my hands: "How many more do I need to make ten if I have 2?" and I show them the number two on my fingers.
They will then tell me how many they think I will need and so on. We do this until I feel like everyone in the class understood the concept to play with their cards.
To prepare
- Download the activity cards below
- Print in COLOR or BLACK & WHITE (use card stock or laminate the pages)
- Cut the cards out.
- Store them in a plastic sleeve or file folder.
- Prepare some pegs for clipping and dough for their ice cream scoops.
To play
- Students will be working on their cards in a group. They take one card and count the scoops on that card.
- They then count on to figure out how many more scoops they need to make a total of ten scoops.
- Once they figure out that number, they clip the correct number.
- Then then make ice cream scoops on the cards to show how many more scoops they need.
- I usually check their work as I go around the class.
- This fun activity can be repeated for practice!
