Students choose a card. One partner shows the same number of fingers as the card and the other partner says the number of fingers shown.

Students choose a card. One partner shows fewer fingers than the card. The other partner shows more fingers than the card. Students tell each other the number of fingers they are holding up and whether that quantity is more or fewer than the quantity on the card.

Each partner holds up some fingers on one hand. Partners work together to figure out the total number of fingers showing. Students color the fingers on their recording sheets and write a number to show how many fingers are on each hand and how many there are all together.

One partner rolls the cube on the mat and shows that number of fingers. The other partner determines how many more fingers are needed to make 10. Both partners fill in an equation on their recording sheets to show the two parts that make 10.
