Making the transition from concrete to abstract when solving addition can be made fun and engaging with math activities that incorporate an element of visual support. Our printable addition activity - Spider Legs - provides that for you!
As well as forming a numeral by joining two puzzle pieces together, students will confirm that the legs make the corresponding total. Here, they may
- count from 1
- 'count on' from the larger number
- apply an addition strategy of their choosing
Spider Legs makes a great small group game or can be used by an individual student - find it over in our store.
