FISHING MATCH
addition · expressions · matching addition expressions to sums up to 12
To know addition facts - sums up to 12 [1.OA.C.6].
FISHING MATCH is a Grade 1 addition game that pairs domino addition expressions with matching sum cards up to 12. Students draw a domino, read the two sides as an addition sentence, find the fish card showing the corresponding total, and claim the match. The visual dots support early fact reasoning while students connect an expression to its sum.
Use it with partners when students are developing addition fact fluency and still benefit from concrete dot patterns. Encourage them to say the full addition sentence before choosing a sum card.
