Students will add 1, 2, 3 or 4 to a dice throw and find the total on their board. This game is super fast to prep as there is no cutting.
We have a pack of 4 printable games perfect for Autumn that will help students master counting-on in kindergarten or first grade.
Use them in centers, workshop, math groups or in your whole group lesson to ignite learning and get students excited to solve addition.

Hands-on help
Provide counters or a number line for students to assist their addition when completing the worksheet. Encourage a developing fluency in being able to quickly add 2 to any number. Remind students that it is very close to the 'one more' fact they most likely already know.
