Double Dare – Addition Fluency Warm-Up

Draw two tens frames on the board. One is labelled teachers, the other is labelled students.

Students and teachers take turns rolling a 6-sided die (can be extended to a greater numbered die). Record the total of each turn in the tens frame. The aim of the game is to add your rolls together to get the highest number by the 10th roll. However, if you roll a 1, your team goes to 0 and the other team wins. 

Easy game to reinforce addition strategies ” I have a 6 and I rolled a 5. What strategy can I use to add these numbers together?”
