Activities
Cookies Ten Frame practice
- Shuffle the numbered cookies well. Provide a student with one ten-frame of choice. Then, the student selects a numbered cookie and fills in the ten-frame with that number of the small cookies. The student then clears the ten-frame and selects a new numbered card.
Add and Subtract Cookies Game
- Place the shuffled cards in a file, backside up. Each player selects one of the four ten frames templates (plate, cookie jar, cookie pan, or lunch box). A player is selected to go first.
- For each turn, the player selects a card and adds or subtracts the number listed by adding or subtracting small cookies to the ten-frame. If a card instructs the player to subtract and no cookies are on the ten-frame, nothing happens. If a card instructs the player to add, that many small cookies are added to the ten-frame.
- The player that fills the ten frame with ten cookies first, is the winner.
