Adding to 100

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

Students draw a card from each pile and add them together.  They write that number into one of the empty spaces.  Players take turns adding numbers to their game board trying to make the statements true.  When all the statements are filled out, that student is the winner.  If they are unable to go, they miss a turn.

Using Base-Ten Blocks for Addition

1.NBT.4  1.NBT.2,2a
Module 9
Differentiation Activity

Students take turns drawing a card with an expression.  They can either build the expressions with base-ten blocks together or individually to compare.  When they are finished adding them together, they will write out the equation.

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.

Adding 10, 20, & 30

1.NBT.4
Module 9
Differentiation Activity

Students place one counters on any number 1-10 on the hundreds chart.  They take turns drawing a card that will tell them to add 10, 20, or 30.  They move their counter down the chart accordingly. The first student to reach the bottom row is the winner.

Students try to place eight counters on the game board by drawing two cards and adding them together mentally.  If their sum is available they can place a counter, but if it is taken, they miss that turn.

Back On Board

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

Students draw 2 cards (B & C) and add them together.  They then draw the third card (A) and add that onto the total.  They will place a counter on that sum.  When a student has four counters in either one row or one column, they are the winner.  (B cards can be substituted for dice.)

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

Students draw two cards and add them together.  They will find the corresponding number on the game board and place their counter.  Play continues until all squares have been filled or time runs out.  The player with the most counters on the board is the winner.

Counting on by Tens

1.NBT.4 1.NBT.5
Module 9
Differentiation Activity

Students roll a dice and put a counter on the corresponding number on the hundreds chart.  They then draw a card that will tell them how many tens to move their counter down.  After all students have gone, the student with the greatest number receives a point.  The first student to 5 points is the winner.

1.NBT.4
Module 9
Differentiation Activity

This game can be played with 2 or 3 players.  Students take turns drawing two 1-9 digit cards.  They form a two-digit number and then draw a smaller card.  They will count on to get a new two-digit number.  Students can check using a hundreds chart.  If the student is correct, they get a point.  This can also be played as a race.  One student draws the cards and the other two race to see who can get the right answer first.  The winner gets a point, and they rotate.  The first to 10 points is the winner.

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

Students practice counting on 1,2, & 3 by drawing a card, and moving their counter on the game board.  If they end by a slide, they slide down.  If they end by a ladder, they climb it.  The first student to land on 35, the finish, is the winner.  Students may land on the same space as each other.
