Stage 1 thinking mathematically resource: Ten-frame filler

Watch the video to see how to play a strategy game to fill as many ten-frames as you can. The game is played with a dice and a sheet with ten-frames. A player who completes the ten-frame (for example, rolling a three and there is a ten-frame with seven already filled), claims it by writing their initials on top of the ten-frame. The player with the most ten-frames at the end is the winner!
