After students are good at 1-10, the teacher can try the teen numbers using two cards (10 +1, 10+2.). These games are explained fully in the Power of Ten, yellow, coil-bound book which is available on the Power of Ten website.ģ.Ě game that can be played with the large teaching set of the Power of Ten cards involves handing the 10 cards out to 10 students and asking them to see how fast they can line themselves up in order.
After students have mastered these games, an adding and then a subtracting game can be taught. At the Grade One level, the best games are concentration (memory), go fish, and face-off (war). There are many games that can be played using the Power of Ten cards. I began using ten frames with a game where I called out a number and the student saw how quickly they could make that number in the ten frames (filling the frame from the bottom left).Ģ. These egg carton 10 frames can also be used when beginning adding and subtracting so student understand the Power of Ten concept in a physical way. The egg cartons must have 2 compartments cut off the end and should be referred to as "10 frames". Students can use egg cartons with unifix block or bingo chips to see how the ten frames get filled (always starting from the bottom left and going upwards). The following activities and games can be used to support teaching that uses the Power of Ten.ġ.
The Power of Ten approach to teaching Elementary Math, originated by Trevor Calkins, is designed to help students really understand number concepts and operations. Filed in Math Games, Teaching Elementary Math on Octowith 2 comments
