Tens and Ones


1.NBT.2 & 5
Module 3  Lesson 2
Differentiation Activity

This can be player with partners or a group up to 4.  Each student will get a hundreds chart.  Students take turns drawing a card and rolling a standard dice.  The standard dice tells how many ones or tens they will mark on their hundreds chart.  If they roll 4 tens, they can place a counter on any number with 4 tens.  If they roll 5 ones, they can place their counter on any number with 5 ones.  The first student to get four in a row, is the winner.

Module 3  Lesson 1
Differentiation Activity/Fundamentals Game

Students can play the game Groups of Ten either on their computer or with the printable game.

Students draw a card from each stack of cards.  They will add those tens together and place a counter that matches on the gameboard.  When all the squares are filled, the student with the most counters on the board is the winner.

Module 1  Lesson 8
Differentiation Activity/Fundamentals Game

Students can play the Fundamentals game Along the Track Again.  The paper version is attached, but you can also use Slatecast for students to use on their Chromebooks.  As always, I would love to come help do this in a classroom :)  Directions for Slatecast is also attached!

Comparing Teen Numbers

1.NBT.A.1, 1.NBT.B.2
Module 1  Lesson 7
Differentiation Activity

Students place the pile of numeral cards face down and have the Deca Cards out to use.  Each student draws a numeral card from the pile and makes that number with the Deca Cards.  Students compare Deca Cards to see who has the greatest number.  The student with the greatest number wins all the cards (Deca and Numeral Cards).  They then draw the next numeral and do the same.  The student with the most cards after the numerals are gone is the winner.  Students can play again with the lesser number keeping the cards.

Module 10 Student Creations


Module 10


Students are making 3D objects with clay.  For differentiation, students could try to copy each others' shapes.








Students then join their 3D shapes together to make more complex shapes.  For differentiation, have student construct a building and have a partner see if they can copy it.

Subtracting Dimes


1.NBT.6
Module 12
Differentiation Activity

Each pair of students will have 9 dimes.  They can either use the play money or the printables below.  One student will put more than 1 dime on the table.  Together the students count the amount of money.  For example, in the problem to the left, there were 8 dimes for 80 cents.  One student covers up some dimes when the other turns around.  They may use paper, fabric, etc.  The student them must figure out how many dimes are missing.  In this instance, there are two missing.  The matching subtraction sentence is then recorded.  80-60=20.

Dimes (if needed)

Using Base-Ten Blocks for Addition

1.NBT.4  1.NBT.2,2a

Split to Add


1.NBT.4
Module 9
Differentiation Activity/Fundamentals Game

Player 1 draws a card from each pile.  They must mentally add the numbers by splitting the tens and ones. They will then place their counters on the matching sum.  Since some numbers are on the board more than once, they must choose which one will help them more.  After one student has five counters in a row, they are winner.

On the Edge

1.NBT.4
Module 9
Differentiation Activity/Fundamentals Game

All students place two counters on the number one. This is the only time more than one counter can be on the same space.   Students take turns drawing a card and moving one of their counters by adding 1,2,3,10,20, or 30.  Their goal is to get their counters on a shaded region of the game board.  Once both counters are in a shaded region, that student wins.
