Students will be able to trade in ones and tens until they get to 100 using math manipulatives.
Introduction
(3 minutes)- Explain to students that you are going to play a math game that will help them understand how numbers are made by putting together tens and ones.
- Relate base-ten blocks to Halloween candies by explaining that for this game the ones will represent candies, the tens will represent broomsticks, and the hundreds flat will represent pumpkins.
- Tell them the goal is to be the first person to trade ten broomsticks (i.e., ten rods) in for a pumpkin (i.e., a flat).
