To make an addition sentence with sums up to 10
COLORED SET is a Grade 1 addition game where students build complete addition sentences from three groups of numbers. One addend comes from a triangle, the other from a square, and the sum must come from a circle. Once numbers are used, they cannot be reused, so students try to create as many valid addition sets as possible while keeping sums within 10.
Use it for partner or small-group work when you want students composing addition sentences rather than only solving them. The no-reuse condition encourages planning and comparison of possible combinations. Generate teacher-ready lesson support for COLORED SET with a free Find a Math Game account.
