Narrative
Partner A chooses two numbers and places a paper clip on each number. They add the numbers and place a counter on the sum. Partner B moves one of the paper clips to a different number, adds the numbers, and places a counter on the sum. Students take turns moving one paper clip, finding the sum, and covering it with a counter.
Two gameboards are provided, one where students add a one-digit and a two-digit number and one where they add a two-digit and a two-digit number.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs 25 counters and 2 paperclips.
