Dinosaur Addition Game Sums 10-20

We’ve been practicing a LOT of addition facts.  I’m of the belief that having memorized basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts simply makes life easier.  But we don’t drill because that’s boring and not the most effective method.  Nope, we don’t drill.  We play games.  Lots of games.  Board games are popular with the…

Included in this set is 10 addition problems and 10 subtraction problems all…
