To add three one-digit number
DO THE X is a Grade 2 addition game built around adding three one-digit numbers. Players draw three cards, find the sum, and use that total to claim a matching square on the game board. Because the goal is to create a line of adjacent spaces, students have a reason to calculate accurately while also watching which sums would help them build a winning pattern.
Use it for partner or small-group practice with three addends and addition within 20. The board makes repeated addition feel purposeful, and classmates can check whether a claimed square matches the cards drawn.
