The purpose of this activity is for students to learn Stage 7 of the Five in a Row: Addition and Subtraction center. Students add within 1,000, without composing tens or hundreds. One student places a paper clip on the gameboard to cover one number in each gray row. They add the numbers and place their color counter on the sum. Their partner moves one of the paper clips to a different number in the same row, adds the numbers, and places their color counter on the sum. Students take turns until a player gets five counters in a row or the board is filled.

The gameboards will be used again in future lessons. Consider copying on cardstock or laminating for future use. 

• “What strategies did you use to add the numbers?”
• “What strategies did you come up with for picking your paper clip number?”

The purpose of this activity is for students to choose from activities that focus on place value and addition with three-digit numbers. 

Students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.
