Number Order

I passed out numbers 1-10 in a random order today. The kids holding the numbers did not look to see what number they were holding. I also left one number out and called it our "missing number". The job for the kids who were not holding a number was to put the numbers in order by telling which student needed to be first in line and so on. Once all the numbers were in order from smallest to largest, they took guesses as to what the missing number was. They did not need more than one guess, they knew right away the missing number was the number 9!
