KEEP OR STRIKE
addition · adding two dice to match a card value up to 12
To add numbers with sums up to 12
KEEP OR STRIKE is a Grade 1 addition game for sums up to 12. Players draw a target card, roll two dice, and add the dice to see whether the sum matches the card. A successful match lets the player keep the card, while repeated attempts add more opportunities to mentally combine two small numbers.
Use it in a small group when students are building fluency with addition facts and connecting dice quantities to numeral targets. The match-or-miss structure keeps each turn focused on one clear question: does this sum equal the card?
