Activity 1: Introduce Five in a Row: Addition and Subtraction, Add 1 or 2 (20 minutes)
Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn the first stage in the center, Five in a Row. In this stage, students pick a card and choose to add 1 or 2 to the number on their card. They place a counter on the sum on their game board. The first person to get five counters in a row wins. Students begin to notice that when they add 1 to any number, the sum is the next number in the counting sequence, and when they add 2, the sum is two numbers more in the counting sequence (MP7, MP8).
The game board will be used again in upcoming lessons. Consider copying on cardstock or laminating for future use.

Materials to Copy
- Five in a Row Addition and Subtraction Stages 1 and 2 Gameboard
Required Preparation
- Each group of 2 needs a set of Number Cards 0–10.
Launch
- Groups of 2
- Give each group a set of number cards, a game board, two-color counters, and access to 10-frames.
- “We are going to learn a game called Five in a Row, Add 1 or 2. Let’s play a round together.”
- Display the game board.
- “First we need to remove any card with the number 10 on it. We will not use these cards in this game. Now I’m going to flip over a card and decide if I want to add 1 or 2 to the number.”
- Flip over a card.
- “I got a (5) and I’m going to choose to add 2 to my number. What is the sum?”
- “Now I put a counter on the sum on the game board. Then it is my partner’s turn.”
Activity
- “Before you begin, you and your partner need to decide who will use the red side of the counters, and who will use the yellow side. Then take turns flipping over a card and adding 1 or 2 to the number. The first person to get five counters in a row on the game board wins. The counters can be in a row across, up and down, or diagonal.”
- 10 minutes: partner work time
- As students work, consider asking:
- “How did you find the sum?”
- “How did you decide whether to add 1 or 2?”

Activity Synthesis
- Display a game board with the center column covered with red counters except for the 8 at the bottom.
- Display the number card 6.
- “This is my game board. I just picked the number 6. Should I add 1 or 2 to the number 6? Why?” (You should add 2 because \(6 + 2\) is 8 and then you could cover the last number in the column and have five in a row.)
