Looking for engaging and meaningful math centers to help teach, reinforce or practice essential K-1 math concepts? This “bee” themed collection is the perfect combination of hands on tools, visuals and practice to build number sense in your students.
 
This collection of 6 math activities can be easily adapted to meet the needs of your students.
 
Using important visuals and hands on manipulatives, your kindergarten students can make sense of addition and subtraction within 10.
 
Or use those same visuals and tools with your 1st grade students, deepen understanding of addition and subtraction within 20.
 
Plus, you’ll find a variety of word problem sets to see addition and subtraction in context, whether you teach kindergarten or first grade.

Math Skills Covered in These Center Activities:

  • Counting & subitizing to 10
  • Addition within 10
  • Addition within 20
  • Addition of 3 numbers within 10
  • Subtraction within 10
  • Subtraction within 20
  • Composing & decomposing numbers
  • Writing addition & subtraction equations
  • Making ten
  • Making sense of equality

Here’s What’s Inside:

Subitizing Counting Cards – these visual matching cards can be used on their own to play games, sort, count, and subitize, or use them along with the other activities.
 
Beehive Addition & Subtraction Mats – Using “bee” cards as manipulatives, students model addition and subtraction problems on their beehive mat, write an equation and solve the problem.
 
Make Ten Mats – Strengthen number sense & help kids see how to decompose the number ten with these visual ten frame mats. 2 versions included so you can easily differentiate.
 
Decompose Numbers & Write “Bee”-quations – Using the “bee” manipulative cards again, along with a part-part-whole mat, students find different combinations to equal their “whole,” then write equations to show what they found.
 
Equal or Not Equal Sorts – Students practice addition & subtraction while deepening their understanding of equality with this simple sorting challenge. 5 different sorting sets included to help you differentiate. A blank “sorting cards” page is also included in case you want to create your own unique set.
 
Word Problem Task Cards – Again, 5 sets of word problems are included, allowing you to practice the exact skill your students need to work on. To solve, students can use the addition & subtraction mats, the part-part-whole mat or the number line mat. Then they record their equation and solution on the recording page.
 
In addition to the ideas included here, you can use the visual tools and manipulatives along with your own curriculum, homework practice or worksheets to aid in student understanding.

What’s Included in the Download:

  • Detailed teaching tips, directions & ideas for variations for each activity
  • Printable, hands-on manipulatives & work mats (laminate for durability & use again and again)
  • 5 sets of Addition & subtraction word problem task cards
  • Answer keys for each set of word problem task cards
 
By making math visual and hands on, your students will develop a solid foundation and understanding of addition & subtraction that will prepare them for later grades.
 
The visual tools will help them develop number sense, so that they are not just blindly guessing, but are solving problems with understanding.
 
This collection of math centers will also help students form connections between ways to compose ten, word problems and equations, and develop a better understanding of the equal sign.
 
And YOU will love that once the materials are prepped, you can easily store them in a bin or ziplock bag to use again and again.
