Tens Go Fish!

In math we have been working on making combinations of 10.  The students played a game called Three Towers where they practiced 'counting on' with a number cube and dot cube.  They used the sums to construct three towers of ten with linking cubes.  They then had to write an equation that matched their towers.  Today, we played 'Tens Go Fish'.  This is similar to the regular card game Go Fish, except that instead of collecting 'pairs' , the students had to collect combinations of 10.  When the game was over they listed their combinations of cards in the form of an equation.
