The rules are simple: if the teacher gives the number 10, students stand up. Any other number, they sit down.
Teacher calls out a number sentence, eg. “7+3” and “14 – 5” (pick appropriate sums and differences for your students to solve mentally).
If the answer is 10, students stand up.
If the answer is any other number, students sit down.
