Students learned a fun game during Calendar Math this week - Making Ten. This game can easily be played at home. Each player needs a set of cards numbered 0 - 9 (you can use a deck of cards). A number from 1 - 10 is called (by an adult/sibling).  Players must raise the card that would be needed to Make Ten. For example:  The number 2 is called.  Students choose the 8 card and raise it in the air.  The faster the better!
