Addition Equations Black Numerals

Clearance item: This product is available only while supplies last. Once it sells out, it won't be restocked. All clearance sales are final. See all clearance items. Our Montessori Addition Equations give students 16 prepared equations to solve independently with the stamp game, bank game, or other base ten materials. Each equation has two four-digit addends, so students work with units, tens, hundreds, and thousands. Half of the equations are static, and half are dynamic, with carrying. Students build each addend, slide the quantities together, and find the sum. If they're writing, they can write the equation and answer in their own math journal. What's included 16 equation cards: 8 static and 8 dynamic A small white star on each dynamic equation for easy reference Black numerals, with a red border for addition No solutions on the cards Cards are approx. 4¼" x 2¾" Eco-laminated with a food-grade laminate and rounded corners Sturdy, clear reclosable bag for teacher storage Black and white equation master included (or download the printable equation master) Lesson plan included Base ten materials, such as the stamp game or bank game, are not included. Add a red medium cloth pouch for color-coded, student-accessible classroom display. Created by a Montessori teacher. Eco-printed in our rural New England office. Made in the USA. CPSIA compliant. Why use prepared addition equations? Prepared equations let students work independently. A student can choose a card and start right away, without waiting for you to write a problem. Each time, they practice the same steps with the base ten materials, and they get to see what addition really does to a quantity. How do you use addition equation cards? Once you have presented addition, offer these prepared cards so students can solve problems on their own. The cards don't show solutions, so students find each answer with their materials: Lay out the base ten materials just like the equation shows, with the addends on top. Slide the quantities together. Count the total to find the sum. Once students have experience with dynamic equations, make photocopies of the equation master so they can create their own math problems. What is the difference between static and dynamic equations? Static equations can be solved without any carrying. Dynamic equations require students to carry, such as exchanging ten units for a ten. Start with the static equations, then move on to the dynamic equations, which are marked with a small white star. What comes after addition equations? Next, students move on to our Multiplication Equations, putting the same thing together so many times. What ages is this for? Typically ages 4 to 9, once a student has been introduced to addition with base ten materials. These cards also work for students who need intervention.
