Maths Plus Movement = Fun!

Through this maths activity, students will show they can use addition strategies to add two-digit numbers within 100 through understanding place value and composing 10. These cards require students to solve problems involving regrouping in the tens place. These cards are perfect for a rousing game of SCOOT!

Scoot Activity

Place the playing cards around the room numerically and give each student a recording sheet. Assign each student a number to start. Give students appropriate time to read the card, determine the total, and then say, “SCOOT.” At this time, the students will rotate to the next card. Continue this manner until students have made it through the cards. 

More Ways To Practise Double Digit Addition

We created this resource for your maths centre as an independent practise activity. We also suggest using it to reinforce your small group and full-class lessons in the following ways: 

Exit Activity

After your addition lesson, pass out cards to students as a maths problem they will answer independently. Provide them with a sticky note so they can turn in their answer as a formative assessment, making sure to write their name on the sticky note.

Mirror Game

This activity is a spin on the classic “Newlywed Game” and works best with small groups because you’ll need enough dry erase boards and markers for each student. Divide the students into two groups sitting in 2 lines facing each other. Use your smartboard or projector to show a task card and give students time to solve the problem. On your cue (for example, you say “Ready, Set, Go!”), they’ll turn their boards around so their partner can see their answer. If both students in a pair have the correct answer, they get 2 points. If one has the right answer, the team gets 1 point.
