Addition Math Center - Addition Detective

Do you need a fast-prep fun way to engage your students in addition while catering for multiple abilities in your classroom? We have you covered with Addition Detective!

Your little learners will love being a detective by looking for combinations ('clues') to total a number from 2-20.

This printable math center is

• easy-to-prep
• engaging
• easily differentiated

To offer differentiation, choose from

• dot pattern game boards
• numeral game boards
• totals from 2 to 20

Depending on what level your students are working at, encourage your students to

• count each dot to find the total
• count on from the larger set to find the total
• use the numerals and select an addition strategy of their choice
• memorize addition facts

Whats included:

• 38 easy-prep game mats
• number cards
• follow-up worksheets
• cover page for your organizational packets and folders

Students can play this activity as a competitive game-style format or work together as a small group to match all the pieces. It is also perfect for individual work and fast-finishers.

Players will take a game mat, identify all the combinations that make the total and cover them with the numeral total cards.

We hope your little ones have fun being a detective for the day and know that as they find repeated 'clues' they will gain the valuable repetition they need for important addition facts to become fluent in their recall!
