How to use them
- Go Fish for Tens: deal 5 each. Ask for the card that makes ten with one of yours (“Do you have a 3?” if you hold a 7). Lay down pairs. Most pairs wins.
- Ten Memory: place 18 cards face down. Flip two; keep them if they make ten.
- Ten Snap: flip cards one at a time. Slap the pile when the top two make ten.

Questions
What is a make-ten card game?
It's a game where players pair numbers that add up to 10 (like 3 and 7). These pairs, sometimes called friends of ten, are a key early math fact.
What grade is it for?
It suits kindergarten to Grade 2, and works as a quick math center or a homework game.
Why are there ten-frames on the cards?
Ten-frames show each number as dots in a 2 × 5 grid, so kids can see how many more make ten.
