Plus 1, Minus 1 Bingo: An Addition & Subtraction Fluency Game!



Learning addition and subtraction facts fluently to 5 is quite the task for most kindergarten and first grade students! If they simply learn the concept or adding one and subtracting one, they can tackle a lot of those facts!

Using this game, students begin to strategize by deciding which number to cover, thus learning their facts fluently!

Here is how you play!

1 - Copy enough for your small group or class. I recommend using a fun-colored cardstock and lamenting a few to reuse throughout the year,

2 - Use a 10-sided die (you can get them on Amazon Here. They are honestly my favorite math manipulative!) Students can use the number line at the bottom to add 1 or subtract 1. For example, if the teacher or student rolls a 4, they can subtract 1 to get 4 or add 1 to get 6. They place a chip on the number of their choice.

3 - First player to get 6 in a row wins!

I usually play several rounds. I give this to my educational assistant to play with a group of about 4-5 students during math rotations. Eventually, I put this game in a bucket and the students play together independently!
