Description
If you are always looking for ways to keep math practice challenging, effective, and FUN for your first grade students, you're going to love this set of 24 missing addends task cards for sums within ten.
Choosing from four numbers on each card, your students will determine Little Turtle's Secret Number by solving to eliminate three of the options. With each riddle task card they complete, your students will practice solving for the missing addend three times. They'll be having so much fun searching for the secret number that they won’t even realize that they’ve completed 72 problems in all!
Because the cute turtle graphics aren't seasonal, you'll find yourself using this set at any time during the school year!
HERE'S WHAT THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES!
* 24 riddle cards, printable at four per page. Equations are included with the missing addend in both the first and second position.
* A student recording page
* A time-saving answer key
* Themed number lines are also included, for support or differentiation.
* An easy-prep one page board game for even more practice with missing addends!
HERE ARE SOME WAYS THAT YOU'LL USE THESE CARDS WITH YOUR STUDENTS!
* Use in a math center for individual or partner work
* Use with your document camera for whole class review or to focus attention at the beginning of a math lesson
* Use as a skills review rotation (aka "Scoot"), individually or with partners, with students moving to stations around the classroom to solve the clues
* Use for morning “bell ringers”
* Use for homeschool lessons or independent practice
* Use as challenge work or for early finishers
* Use as an activity with classroom volunteers – they can complete as few or as many as time allows!
HERE'S WHAT TEACHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT MATH RIDDLE TASK CARDS.
"Just what I was looking for! The clues help my students think about how numbers are connected and it engages them to solve the mystery number! Great resource. Thank you."
"This provided my students with just the right amount of challenge I was looking for! It got them thinking about this concept in a way they hadn't before. Thank you for creating this resource!"
