Apply and practice their knowledge in adding integers
10 ON MY CARDS is a Grade 6 integer game that challenges students to combine positive and negative values to make 10. Black and red cards represent opposite signs, and students search their hands for combinations of two to five cards that reach the target. A Go Fish-style exchange gives them another reason to think ahead about which integer would complete a useful combination.
It fits partner work or a small group when you want integer addition to involve reasoning rather than isolated computation. Listen for how students describe positive and negative values and how they justify different combinations that reach the same total.
