Four Strikes You’re Out - Marilyn Burns

___ ___ + ___ ___ = ___ ___

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

​

Goal: To figure out the number for each blank in the problem

  1. Write a 2-digit + 2-digit problem on a piece of paper and hide it.
  2. Students guess a number. If the number is in the problem, you write it in all the appropriate places.
  3. If students guess a number that is not in the problem, they get a strike.
  4. To win, figure out all of the numbers before you get four strikes.
