Here are 2 math warm up ideas to help your children practice the one more than strategy for beginning addition. You can use the snowman dot cards from my Math Kit resource or any dot cards you have.
Making Numbers
- use the plain snowman as a number mat
- students flip a card and make a number that is one more than the number shown
- use counters, blocks, cubes or a dry erase marker
Flip to Find
- turn one card over from a face-down pile
- the aim is to find the number that is one more than this number
- students keep flipping and saying numbers until the card is found
I hope your children have fun with numbers and counting today! Find out more about the Math Kit and Math Warm Ups over on my website!
