Tens and Ones Spinners and Recording Sheet
Use clear spinners on top of this sheet or use paperclips and pencils to create your own spinners. Arrange students into groups of 2 for this fun game to support making numbers in base ten. Each student will take a turn spinning both spinners. They write their response in their section of the recording sheet. The students make the number using ten frames or base ten blocks. They compare their numbers. The winner is the partner who has the biggest number. The game can also be played so the winner is the partner who has the smallest number. The winner of each round circles their number. The winner is the partner who wins the most rounds.
As students become fluent with making and comparing numbers in base ten you can use this game to add and subtract. Partners can both make a number using the spinners and record their answers, they can then use the two numbers and add them together or subtract them. The partner who gets the correct answer first wins the round. (58-32=26)
