Math Scoot! 1 More, 1 Less and 10 More, 10 Less

Item description

Scoot is a game that will get your students up and moving around while practicing or reviewing skills at the same time! This can also be used as a Write the Room/Math Around the Room activity.

This file contains enough Scoot cards to play with 30 students. If you have less than 20 students, simply cross out the extra boxes on the recording sheet. Arrows are also included to help guide your students to the seat they should scoot to next. Your class may not need to use the arrows after playing several times, but they do come in handy if your class is just playing Scoot for the first time.

1 More, 1 Less, 10 More, 1o Less Scoot is a fun way to review or practice what can be a very tricky skill for some student’s to master. Often, this skill is introduced or practiced with students finding missing numbers on a 100 or 120 chart. A small portion of the chart is shown with one or more numbers missing and students have to fill in the missing numbers. The missing numbers are often above and below a given number on the chart and the number right before and after. To me, this almost makes a flower-like shape. I often referred to it as a flower with my students so they could understand how to find 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, and 10 less on a number chart.

How to use this resource:

The Scoot game can be used as a whole class review, practice, or formative assessment. It is played like a typical Scoot game and directions are included.

This game could also be used as a Read the Room/Write the Room type of activity. Post the cards around the room as a math center and allow students to hunt for them and record their answers.

You could also just place all the cars in a fun container (a flower pot maybe!) and have students draw cards out and record their answers in either a center or even small group.

A few practice pages are also included to further reinforce the concept.
