Directions for play: Place a pile of addend cards, face down inside the first addend box. Place the second pile of addend cards, face down in the second addend box. Place the sum cards on the table, next to the mat. Provide the student math counters of your choice (manipulatives, mini erasers, pom poms etc.). Have your child flip over the 1st addend card, and place the correct amount of math counters on the mat below the addend card. Repeat this process for the second addend card. Have your child count the objects to find the sum. Once they have counted the objects they can find the matching sum card to place it on the mat. Advanced: Have your child practice “counting on” by using the number line to help them find the sum. Place your “counter” on the 1st addend, and practice counting up to the right.
