Dinosaur Addition


Since math is a concrete subject and not abstract, it should be taught in a hands-on manner with lots of manipulatives. Using manipulatives allows us to have a better understanding of what numbers mean so we are better prepared for abstract math concepts like number equations. The hands-on tools are also incredibly beneficial for our tactile learners.



This Dinosaur Addition Activity is an engaging way to combine hands-on math with abstract equations.

Instructions


  • Download the FREE Dinosaur Addition Cards below

  • Laminate and cut the Dinosaur Addition Cards

  • Using dry erase marker, write numbers in the circles to create an addition problem, for example, 5+4 =

  • Using the dinosaur pieces to fill in the tens frame to solve the equation

  • Count how many dinosaurs are on the tens frames and write the solution in the equation


Tips:


  • Make sure the solution to your equation does not exceed 20 as there are only 20 spots on the tens frame

  • I have also included an additional card that only goes up to 10 so you can differentiate based on your child's needs

  • If your kids are like mine and they like to peel off laminate, you may want to cut, then laminate, then cut again
