Material

Skip Count by 5’s or 10’s from any number

Place multiples of ten from 0 to 200 on the number line. Ask students to solve 40 + ___ = 170. The student begins at 40 and skip counts by tens to 170. This can also be done with multiples of five (narrow your range of numbers; for example, 0-100 or 50-150).

Subtraction

Example: 82 – 19 = ___

(1) Place the multiples of ten on the hash marks on the mat, starting with 0 and ending with 100. Have students skip count by tens on the number line. Ask them to explain the difference in value between each number (10).

(2) Next, have students move to where the number 82 would be. Place the number 82 on an index card on the mat. Then, have students move to where 19 would be on the mat and place the number 19 on an index card on the mat.

(3) Ask students to jump by ones from 19 to 20 and count the value difference. Only 1. Record this on the board/paper as 1.

(4) Ask students to skip count by tens and jump from 20 to 80. The value difference is 60.
Record this on the board/piece of paper as 60.

(5) Ask students to jump by ones, from 80 to 82. The difference in value is 2. Record this on the board/paper.

On the board/paper is: 1 + 60 + 2. Add these numbers together to get a sum of 63.

(6) Teach the relationship of addition and subtraction by adding 19 + 63 (moving by ones and tens on the number line) to equal the sum of 82.

Number Line 1-20

Have students label the hash marks on the mat from 1 to 20. Give them addition and subtraction problems within 20 to solve on the number line. For example, 7 + 5. They will start on the 7 and walk/jump five lines to end at the sum, 12.

Hopscotch While Skip Counting by Twos

Have the student begin on START HERE. Have the student whisper “one” while hopping with one foot on the numeral one. Then have the student jump with two feet on the two, clap and say “two” in a loud voice (if your learning environment permits). Continue alternating between one foot and two-footed movements to the end of the mat. Repeat the activity until the student is comfortable with the activity. Be sure that your student says the numerals correctly. Tell your student the numerals if your student doesn’t know them.

Matching Numbers

Have your students match up the numerals with the same number of objects. Place one object on number one. Place two objects on number two. Choose two of the same thing—like two shoes, two books, or two toy cars. Place three objects on number three. Consider choosing three mittens, rocks, or spoons. Continue placing objects on the numbers! For bigger numbers like ten, try ten pennies, paper clips, or acorns. (If real objects are not available, try printing out images of common objects instead!)

Buddies

Have your students notice that all the numbers have corresponding dots. This is intended for students to learn the value of the numbers. Notice that the number two has two dots. These two dots are buddies. Two is an even number! The number three has three dots. Two of the dots are buddies, but there is one left over! Odd numbers have one left over. Three is an odd number.

Bean Bag Decides

Have a student throw a bean bag on the floor mat. They will then hop to the bean bag alternating between one and two-footed movements. Have them pick up the bean bag and say the numeral underneath where the bean bag landed.

Make Ten

Say to your student, “Choose a number and walk to it.” Ask the student, “How many steps would you have to take to reach ten?” Have the student jump the number of boxes it takes to get to ten. For example, if a student chooses to stand on 6, the student answers that it would take four steps to reach ten (then the student walks and counts it out). Respond, “Yes, six plus four makes ten.” If the student answers incorrectly, have them count again.

Clipboard Math

Clip a math worksheet on a clipboard. Have your students figure out the answers to the math problems by walking or jumping on the mat.

Race-to-One

Have a student start at ten and roll one die. They will take the number of steps on the die. The next student will start at ten and do the same. The first student to reach exactly zero wins. If the roll of your die yields a number that causes you to surpass zero, go back to ten.
