Adding with Plates
Number recognition and addition skills focusing on teamwork, communication and collaboration.
Step-by-step instructions for other teachers
Children write the numbers 1-20 on 20 paper plates.
Divide children into groups.
Every child chooses a paper 4 plate to hold.
An adult calls out a number and the children get into groups based on how they can arrange the numbers written on their plates into an addition equation that will equal the number that was called out.
Example: If 11 is called out, children with the numbers 6 and 5 form a group because 6 + 5 = 11.
