A great hands-on activity involving adding and subtracting, beginner mathematicians determine how many games can be played with 20 tickets. Instead of tickets, youngsters use 20 counters or linking cubes to represent the amount of tickets needed for each game. This is fantastic because it allows your young mathematicians to find multiple ways to represent their solutions by using concrete objects. Various answers are included in the activity as well as student work and equations.
