Missing Numbers Math Activity ideas

Support your kindergarten students in math by helping them learn to count forward beginning from a given number within 1-10 using my fun Numberpillar cards! They will write the missing number by counting forward and reviewing the number before and after. 

Here are two more ideas to use them:

Addition Cards

• have students find the total of the two numbers shown on the cards
• use counters to further help 'counting on' and other addition strategies

Missing Number Warm Up

• use as flashcards for a warm up or review
• have students call the missing number to you instead of writing it

The cards are fast to prep - just print, laminate and cut. Use them with dry erase markers - here students will get valuable practice writing numerals. 

• after using them in a guided-math situation, leave them in a bin or caddy for independent and free math play
• be sure to have students clean them of dry-erase marker at the end of your math session so they are ready for the next day
• use my Missing Number Snake Cards for numbers to 50
