A Math Dice Game to Play – Make 10
Make 10 is a fast-paced game that challenges students’ knowledge of pairs of numbers that add to 10. It also encourages students to practice finding the difference between 10 and a larger number.
What You Need:
3 Players – One die thrower and Two callers.
1 die
Scratch paper for recording scores
Ten frames as a scaffold (optional)
How to Play:
-
The Thrower throws the die.
-
Players One and Two call out the number that when added to the number rolled on the dice.
-
The Thrower decides which player ‘won’ the race to call the correct number.
-
The player who ‘wins’ records the number they called out as their score e.g. if a 6 is thrown and Player One is the first to call out 4 then their score is 4 for that round.
-
Play continues in this fashion for 5 rounds.
How to Win:
The player with the highest score at the end of 5 rounds is declared the winner.
Variation:
Two dice version: One player will roll two dice. Depending on the sum of both numbers rolled, players will either need to add or subtract to make a 10. The difference between the sum of the dice and 10 is their score.
