Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this optional activity is for students to practice evaluating division expressions in order to make comparisons. Compare is a center that focuses on the procedural skills needed to solve single- and multi-step word problems. In this stage, students will use division to evaluate and compare quotients within 100.
This stage of the Compare center is used in grades 3, 4, and 5. When used in grade 3, remove the cards with two-digit divisors.
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Compare Stage 4 Division Cards
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2. Remove the cards with two-digit divisors.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students a set of cards from the blackline master.
“Now let’s play Compare to practice what you learned about dividing numbers.”
“Take a minute to read the directions with your partner.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Answer any questions about the directions. If needed, play a turn with the class.
Activity
5–7 minutes: partner work time
If time permits, provide extra time to play Compare.
Student Facing
Play Compare with 2 players.
Shuffle the cards and
split the deck between the players.
Each player turns over a card.
Compare the values. The player with the greater value keeps both cards.
Play until you run out of cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
