ADDENDS A MISS is a Grade 1 addition activity for completing number sentences and finding missing addends with sums up to 20. Students can work from partially completed equations or use dice to create the addends for a blank worksheet. In either version, the missing number becomes the focus, helping students see addition as a relationship among parts and a total.
Use it with partners when students are ready to move beyond simply finding sums and begin reasoning about unknowns. Ask them to explain how they found the missing addend rather than relying only on trial and error. Generate the lesson for ADDENDS A MISS with a free Find a Math Game account.
