Addition seems to have come easy for my firsties this year. However, three addend addition seems to be a problem for some, so I created this math station (using these adorable ice cream graphics by Mel at Graphics From the Pond) to help provide a little extra practice.
The ice cream cones and scoops are large enough to use for whole class instruction and small enough to be perfect for a small group. Students match the ice cream scoops to the matching cone (more than 15, equal to 15 or more than 15). A recording sheet is included for accountability and to check for student understanding. I have also included an "I can..." card to help build student independence. I know I have said it before but I'm not sure what I did before I started using them!
This activity is available at my TPT store.
Tonight I will send a copy to the first 2 followers who can guess the flavor of my favorite ice cream. Here's a hint - you can find it on one of my earlier ice cream posts.
Mint ice cream!

You're right! I can't buy it because I'm guilty of eating it all! Enjoy the math station :-)
DeleteIs Mint Chocolate Chip your favorite? I JUST introduced this concept today to my first graders and it was a tad bit confusing to them! We need some extra practice for sure!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! Just thinking about it makes me want some :) I hope you find the activity engaging and fun!
Deleteps - I deleted your first comment for you :)
You're all so fast! I'll be sending you all the activity shortly :)
