Math Practice

Just discovered a way students can practice their math computational skills.
Materials:
  • foam pieces with different colored sides (I have red & white bean shaped foam counters. They can be made by gluing two pieces of foam together and then cut into squares.)
  • plastic drinking cup
  • dry erase board & marker or paper & pencil
The student shakes the cup and empties the foam pieces and then writes the corresponding addition sentence. Take it a step further by having them write the fact family. Advanced students can use the foam pieces to create and model their own addition sentence.
