You will need:
A 0-9 sided die, 0-9 spinner or cards with 0-9 printed on them.
2 different coloured markers
Roll the dice.
Record the total rolled using one of the ten-frames in a single, sweeping movement.
If there is not enough space in any of the ten-frames, miss a turn.
Take it in turns filling in ten-frames.
A player who completes the ten-frame (for example, rolling a three and there is a ten-frame with 7 already filled), claims it by writing their initials on top of the ten-frame.
The player with the most ten-frames at the end is the winner!
Was there a strategy that helped you to win the game?
What numbers do you think were the best to roll? Why?
Have we found all the combinations to 10?
What might happen if we had a third player? Would it make it easier or harder to win?
