Sage's Game Day: Capture the Sums

A first-grade game day with Sage the sloth. Students warm up with a subtraction number talk (7 − 2, 8 − 2, 7 − 5, 8 − 6), then play solo rounds of Capture Squares: add two number cubes and tap the square that shows the sum, decide when to roll again, and try an optional Shake and Spill round to find how many counters hide under the cup. Every direction is read aloud, with spoken hints after a wrong answer.

• Find the sum of two number cubes within 10, and find it on a gameboard.
