Materials: Uno Numeral Cards (0-9) and Wild cards (at least 4)
(2-3 player game) Shuffle cards and deal out 6 to each player. Players use four of their cards to create two two-digit numbers. For example, a 7 and 6 could be 76 or 67.
Wild Cards can be used as any numeral (0-9).
The goal is to create 2 two-digit numbers that add up to a sum that is close to 100. Once players figure out their sum, they subtract their number from 100 (see example above). The player with the lowest score wins the round!
For the next round, players put the cards they used in a discard pile and take four different cards. When finished playing, players add up their score for each round: lowest score wins!

Snappo Directions (2 player game)
1. Divide uno cards (numbers only: 0-10) evenly among players.
2. Players lay their cards face down in a pile.

5. Players keep taking turns, flipping cards, trying to make 10. They can use the cards on the table or cards opponent flips over. Their goal is to make 10, say snappo, and capture the most cards!
Game ends when there are no matches left. The player who captured the most cards wins!
Now you see it, now you don't! Three hands on ways to explore missing addends!
Featured Above:
1. Paper Slider - Mrs. T.'s First Grade Class had fun figuring out the missing addend with a sliding bar! Click here for details, as well as for lots more awesome activities and printables!
2. Paper Peeker - Our Future is Bright created addition sentences with a mini flap for the missing addend. Visit her blog for a free printable!
3. Tell a friend to draw 2 cards and create an addition (or subtraction, multiplication, or division sentence) with a missing addend. Then, magically solve it right before their eyes!
Practice place value and addition with three addends with this fun card game from Education.com! Each player gets dealt six cards. Next, they each create the highest three digit number they can make. Whoever has the largest numeral gets a point. Then, all the players add up their cards. The player with the highest sum gets a point. The winner has the most points at the end of the game.
For older kids you can deal out more cards; so they can work with higher place values and more addends.

2 player game for a math station. Players take turns pulling a task card from a basket and reading it. They both pull uno playing cards from a face down deck and follow the directions the task card states. They lay their uno cards on the playing mat and build a number. Kids decide where to place each uno card (in the ones, tens, hundreds, or thousands). Next, they write their number on the recording sheet. Then, they determine who won by what the card asked them to build. If it said build the smallest number, the player with the smallest number wins. For the cards that say one more, one less, ten more, ten less, and double, both players win if they answer correctly. When kids are finished playing, they count up their total number of wins for the game. Then, they write their number in a box and their partners in the other box. They use greater than, less than, or equal to symbols and determine who the overall winner of the game is.
Fun addition card game from Guided Math! Kids line up cards in four rows of five. Then, they flip two cards over. If the sum of the two cards equals 10, they keep the cards and replace the cards with two more from the deck. The game ends when there are no more matches left. A match includes 6 and 4, 7 and 3, 8 and 2, 5 and 5. Whoever has the most cards wins the game!
Note: You can change the game and have kids flip ______. Give them a different sum each time they play. For example Flip 5, kids look for 0 and 5, 1 and 4, 2 and 3.
Fun game from Education.com, similar to Place Value War, but instead four different place values are in play! Kids create a pyramid with their cards face down. Next, they flip the ones over. The player with the larger number wins both cards. Then, they flip the tens over. The player with the larger number gets all four cards and so on.
