addition · estimating and adding two-digit numbers

To add two 2-digit numbers

Judge Me!: One Hidden Ones Digit is a Grade 2 addition-estimation game built from two-digit numbers. The teacher reveals both tens digits and one ones digit while keeping the other ones digit hidden, and students estimate the sum before the final card is shown. Once the hidden digit is revealed, players calculate the exact total and compare their estimate with the actual answer.

Use it in a small group when students are learning to estimate sums by using place value rather than guessing randomly. The partially hidden number gives students enough information to make a reasoned prediction while leaving real uncertainty in the ones place.
