Thanksgiving ADD & SUBTRACT to 10, 20, 100 - 9 Mental Maths Games

Looking for Thanksgiving addition & subtraction maths games for KS1 & KS2 to practice adding and subtracting numbers to 10, 20, and 100? Encourage mental maths with the differentiated games & add or subtract numbers to consolidate number fluency this November using their key maths skills.

Students will be eager to play and work out the answers using these fun and easy-prep activities. Check whether other players are giving the correct answers so everyone is involved every time someone moves the counter. Optional - players can only move if they say the answer correctly.

Calculating and adding numbers mentally can be challenging, but the more students do this, the better they will get. Finding ways to make this fun, e.g. by playing games and ‘drip feeding’ this into daily maths activities, is a great way of getting students to become quicker and more accurate with these important skills.

Make this easier for students who need support by providing number lines, manipulatives, or other maths resources you have for counting, e.g. Numicon, Dienes, etc. for working out and checking answers. This gives a great connection between concrete maths, i.e. handling objects, and the more abstract maths of using numerals and written calculations.

These are great maths activities for adding up in our heads too, ideal to practice mental maths in independent activities.

Setting up is quick and instructions are easy to follow and come with the games. Use them in adult-led activities where you can assess their speed and accuracy of adding as they play - evaluate how quick they are at calculating and discuss maths strategies. Discussions like these will help your students become more fluent in their numeracy skills.

Differentiation is easy - use the easier addition games for students who need simpler additions to solve and support this with manipulatives or paper & pencil to work out the sums, or challenge them to add or subtract numbers up to 100 using only mental maths strategies.

• Game 1 – add to 10
• Game 2 – add to 20
