Add 10s - Counting on in 10s

The game "Add 10s" is an educational and interactive way to help children practice counting on in tens. This engaging activity is designed to strengthen their understanding of place value and addition with multiples of ten. Players will need a 0 – 9 dice, a 1 – 100 board, and counters to participate. The essence of the game is to roll the dice to generate a two-digit number, then strategically add a multiple of ten to this number. For example, if a player rolls a 67, they could add 30 to cover the number 97 on the board, or add 20 to cover 87, and so on.

The objective of the game is to be the first player to cover three numbers in a straight line, which could be horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. As the game progresses, players should discuss and observe how adding tens affects the number. For instance, in the number 63, the '6' represents six tens (or sixty), and the '3' represents three ones (or three units). When a multiple of ten is added, only the tens digit changes, while the units digit remains unchanged. This hands-on game, originally published by Buzzard Publishing in their collection "Get The Buzz Maths Games," offers a fun and educational way to solidify the concept of place value and addition with tens.
