Activity Instructions

Have a student start at the beginning of the mat with a basket of blocks. Students will sit down in front of the first equation. They will place the number of blocks that each box says. Then, students will push the blocks on the equation forward to the next box and count the total blocks, then repeat the equation. For example, students will sit in front of the first 2 boxes 1 and 1. Students will place 1 block on each of the boxes. Then they will push both blocks up to the next box and count the blocks (2). Students will then say “one plus one equals 2” Then continue on through the mat creating the equations with blocks and then combining them to make the answer.
