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 activity is for students to solve problems that involve multiplication where one factor is a teen number. Students may solve and represent the problem any way they choose. In problem 3, look for different ways in which students are using area diagrams to highlight in the posters for the gallery walk in the next activity. Students reason abstractly and quantitatively when they interpret the stories and represent them with diagrams, expressions, or equations (MP2).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Leverage choice around perceived challenge. Invite students to select at least 2 of the 4 problems to complete.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Attention, Social-emotional Skills
