Plumbing Addition

addition · adding numbers with sums to 10

To add numbers with sums up to 10 [1.OA.C.6].

Plumbing Addition is a Grade 1 puzzle game for addition sums to 10. Students evaluate an addition expression on one pipe piece and connect it to the pipe showing the matching result, gradually completing the plumbing puzzle. The matching format keeps basic facts tied to a visible goal rather than a list of disconnected equations.

Use it for partner or small-group practice when students are learning addition combinations within 10. Ask students to say the full addition sentence before connecting the pieces so the math remains explicit throughout the puzzle.
