Help make these combinations fun by playing matching games. The basic game is matching to make 10, but once mastered you can move on to making 20 and 30. A student who knows 6 and 4 makes 10 can extend their learning to see 16 and 4 makes 20. Perfect as a math center, number game rotation or math workshop! You could also place the cards out for students to play as a 'fast finisher'.
We recommend you print, laminate and snip on the fast-cut lines to prepare it in just minutes.
