Take 10s - Count back in 10s

"Take 10s" is an engaging and educational game designed to help players practice counting back in tens. This game is suitable for individuals who are learning to understand the concept of subtraction in multiples of ten, and it reinforces the understanding of place value. To prepare for the game, players will need a few simple items: a 0-9 dice, a 1-100 number board, and some counters to mark their positions on the board.

The gameplay is straightforward and interactive. Players take turns rolling the dice to generate a two-digit number. Once they have their number, they must choose a multiple of ten to subtract from it. The result of the subtraction is then covered with a counter on the 1-100 board. For example, if a player rolls a 56, they might choose to subtract 30, and then they would place a counter on number 26 on the board. The aim of the game is to be the first player to cover three numbers in a straight line - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. As part of the learning process, players discuss how subtracting multiples of ten affects the tens digit but leaves the units digit unchanged, reinforcing their understanding of the number system and place value.
