Back to School Solve and Feed Addition and Subtraction to 20

These hands-on addition and subtraction within 20 activities are an engaging way to get students to practice their adding and subtracting skills at the beginning of the school year. Students will practice solving the equations and matching the answer to feed to the back to school themed characters. Recording pages are provided that will allow students to write the sums and differences or write the whole equations.

Cut out the cards and the feed me character. Then print one of the recording sheets included for each student. Tape or use hook and loop fasteners to attach the feed me character to the side of a bin or basket. For extra reusable fun, you can laminate and add the cards to a sensory bin.

These activities are amazing for morning tubs, math centers, Fun Friday centers, or for use as early finisher activities.
