Magic Pyramid Game


As our students journey closer to Second Grade.. Combinations of Ten are apart of our schema! Students played a game during Choice Time over the last few weeks that was plain magic! Our students were given a deck of number cards to use with a partner. They were to create a pyramid with 4 rows with the cards and keep a "Mystery Card" on the side. Each time they removed a combination of ten (e.g. 6+4 or 8+2) they were to replace it with cards from their deck. When they only had one card remaining in their pyramid, our First Graders would predict what the "Mystery Card" might be... Game after game..it will always be your missing number for a combination of ten! For example, if your last card is "1" the "Mystery Card" will be..."9"!

Ask your student about the Magic Pyramid Game and about Combinations of Ten!
