Matching activities are such fun ways to review and build skills. Try this matching mittens addition activity for your preschool or first grade homeschool students who are learning addition facts.
Addition facts are the basis for learning more advanced math skills like subtraction and word problems. Calculating takes too much time, and memorization frees up that time and brainpower for more complex tasks.
Repetitive practice is part of the memorization process, and finding creative ways to practice is important. This fun activity is a great resource for practicing those first addition facts.
Print out your pages and cut out the cute mitten shapes. They print in black and white, so your child can decorate them with crayons or colored pencils.
Laminate your mittens once they are decorated, if you wish, to make them more durable.
The cuffs of half the mittens have dots on them that represent the digits of the addition fact. This is a helpful way to help your child calculate the answer if they get stuck.
This activity is great for individual practice or for review time.
