Copy Actions:

Sticker Math:

1. On a sheet of paper, divide the paper in 6-8 squares with black marker.  In one square put 5 yellow(same color or same one) one left side, and 5 white stickers on right side. At the bottom of the square put  ______ yellow and next to it put a _____ white.  Then under that put a _____ + ______ = 10. 
2. Have your child count the yellow stickers and write 5 on the blank line next to the word yellow and count the white stickers and write 5 on the blank line next to the word white.
3. Next, put 5 + 5 = 10.  If they need to have them count all the stickers in that square.
4. Make sure to explain to your child what they just did.

Sticker Counting:

5. Then have them write 12= 8 + 4.
6. Explain what they just did. 
7. You could use the number 12 several times and have them circle amounts each time and then show them that other numbers can equal 12 too.  Like 6+6, 9+3, 7+5  etc.  Try putting these on the same sheet of paper.
