Subtraction and Addition Sums - Suggestions for Use..


  • There is no need to use all cards at a time.  Just use certain number cards for a particular number focus or child level. 

  • The cards could also be used over several groups of children making use of more than one set of yes/no stand up cards. 

  • ****Fantastic for use as a whole class game.  Hand a card out to each child.  Children then have to form 2 groups according to their card.  The 'yes' group and the 'no' group.  Now check the answers as a class.

  • ****Have children make up their own addition / subtraction cards using the spare blank cards pages - 5 with correct answers, 5 with incorrect answers, to give to a partner to categorise into yes or no.

  • After the children have completed placing the cards in the correct category (yes or no), they take all the cards under the 'no' category, and write out the equations using the correct answers.

  • Discuss why some of the cards could not be correct.  For example, 7+2 could not =3 because the answer must be larger than 7 etc....talk about strategies for addition sums - eg. counting on.

  • Depending on the level of your children, have counters at the ready for children to use to check the answers.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
