Here is a math activity to play using cards from the Math Kit. I've used:
Students will work towards an understanding of early addition and by seeing how numbers can combine to make a total. They will count in sets of 1 and 2 to make a total.
- use number cards 1-10
- 1s and 2s are placed in the window spaces (one for the 1s and the other for the 2s)
- students flip a number card placing it on the door
- students then take 1s and 2s (dot cards) and count with them to the total, placing them in the windows (make piles if multiple cards are needed)
- encourage students to count as they go and stop at the total
- once the total is reached - here in the photo, 3 - have students discuss how they made the total - e.g. the house of 3 is made with a 1 and a 2, the house of 5 is made with three 1s and one 2.
After playing this math warm up several times, your students may be ready for more work with addition. Find 5 sequenced activities in Math Pack 9 for the addition concept.
