1. Print one version for you with the answers and have the students fill out the whole worksheets at the beginning of class…
a Then at the end, hand out copies of the same worksheet but with the answers blanked out and have them fill them out, again and again until they absolutely know it.
2. Do these worksheets in a class as a class and say them out loud together!
3. Do these worksheets at home as a family and say them out loud together…
4. Do them as a challenge with other classes in your grade!
5. Do all 650 problems with a neighbor you just met.
6. Do them with friends! …
7. Do a few with your dentist.
8. Answer them in a class individually.
9. Slyly slide “what’s 1+1?” into conversations all day with students / child / friends / neighbors
10. Paint that day’s math problem into something. Maybe draw the numbers and the words as characters from your favorite book or movie.
11. Have your kid do some or all of these worksheets if they’re annoying you.
12. Have a math problem of the day and have students do the worksheets in class and say the answers out loud together. Do one problem a day until…. well, until you feel like you’ve done enough.Do math activities related to that problem.
13. Have your kid/s do it 3x a day with breakfast, dinner, and before bed.
14. Have your kid do some or all of these worksheets if they’re having trouble remembering any of these equations.
15. Use these worksheets as math(s) handwriting practice: get those numbers to be clear works of art!
16. Find songs that feature the numbers and make a tiny playlist and then use them to have movement breaks, even if you don’t normally do those. Work those math muscles and massage them up to your brain! (not sure if that’s how it works)
17. Print some of them to use as unappealing wrapping paper
This is the first of the ten part addition series. Come back and join us for more, much, much more! (bwahwahahahahahahaha terrible evil laugh)
DISCLAIMER: Please note: I have created these in the best of faith and believe these strategies will be useful for many different students, but obviously, not all. I’m not claiming to be able to make someone remember these math problems forever – but I do think doing these once or more than once won’t make it harder!
Any errors are unintentional but entirely my fault. The images provided are mock-ups and do not represent the final product upon download and are not meant to mislead.
All the best in your math(s) journey!
