How to play
Print and cut the calling cards, then give each student a bingo board. Call the addition equation without giving the answer. Students solve the equation and cover the matching number on their board.
Boards are a larger 3 × 3 grid with nine big numbers, chosen to suit younger students. Cover all nine to win, or play for three in a row for a quicker round. The included guide estimates around 15–20 minutes for a full game.
