Domino Match

Two domino puzzles from one page. The chain lays dominoes end to end the way they are played, then rubs out some halves: because touching ends always match, every gap can be filled by looking at the tile next to it, which is a first taste of using a rule to work something out rather than being told. The cut-out sheet prints dominoes to snip and a set of boxes to match them to, either by the total of the dots or by the two numbers written as digits, and doubles as a set of tiles to keep and play with.
