JOT THE MISSING
addition · missing numbers in one-digit addition sentences
To complete addition sentence – 1 digit
JOT THE MISSING is a Grade 2 addition game for finding missing numbers in one-digit addition sentences. Players draw a card, determine the unknown value needed to complete the equation, and keep the card when the answer is correct. The missing-addend format shifts attention from simply finding a sum to thinking about the relationship among all three numbers in an addition sentence.
Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are developing flexible addition facts and inverse thinking. If a player misses a problem, the card passes to the next player, creating an immediate opportunity for another student to explain the missing value.
