Large group (Maria)

 * Set up 4 choices that they may choose from for the beginning of the period. The choices are:
 * Trading Game backwards
 * Crayon Puzzles
 * Total of Ten (writing subtraction equations)
 * Make-Ten Facts Bingo
 * Students make choices and go play. After about 20 minutes, they have a chance to switch if they would like to. Remind them that during the week they need to get to all 4 choices. Keep track of where they go.

Small group (Heidi):

 * Begin by having students make 42 with base ten blocks.
 * Explore the digi blocks and see what they notice about them. Try making a few numbers with them, using the place-value mats.
 * Teach the Make-Ten Race (from __[|Games for Math]__ by Peggy Kaye) and have them play it.
