Math Work Stations Blog Party Chapter 5 Addition and Subtraction

Chapter 5!  Woo-Hoo!!!!

Debbie Diller says to provide your kindergarten students many opportunities to solve story problems.  

One of my students favorite math stations last year was Domino Math.  This station stayed constant from January to the end of the year.  It was fairly simple:  My students would select a domino and write the equation on this page.  I can differentiate this by sorting the dominoes I want my students to use.  Some students will use equations to 5, others may use equations to 10.  The same paper can be used for addition and subtraction.

I love the Math Story Cards Ms. Diller included on p 245- 247.  However, last year I used Kathy Richardson's Math Story Cards from this book.

This includes 10 different math story cards.  I copied them onto card stock, laminated them, and clipped them together with a book binder ring. (I wish I had a picture to show you).  I let my students decide which story card they wanted to use.  The AMAZING Fran at Kindergarten Crayons also created some WONDERFUL ones on her sight.  You can grab them here and here.

I also created  another FREEBIE

This FREEBIE has over 130 addition and subtraction cards (working with numbers to 10).  For younger students (kindergarten)  they will use manipulatives to solve the problem.  Older students (1st or 2nd grade) can use the cards to build math facts fluency and automaticity.

If you like what you see, you may want to "follow" me at my TpT store. That way you will be notified when I add other teaching resources.

Thank you Cheryl for hosting Chapter 5.  Hop over to her blog to see what the smart bloggers had to say about this chapter.
