Ocean animals are fascinating to learn about. After our recent ocean zones and animals activity, you can bet they are on our mind! We love to add things that interest us into other areas of our day too. We are continuing the ocean fun in math by working on addition to 10 with these fun ocean animal addition cards.
Ocean Animal Addition Cards
Getting the cards ready doesn’t take long at all! I simply run them through my laminator (For small jobs like this I like to use my home laminator because it is much thicker than the school one) and then cut them apart.
I place them in a basket and have them available with dry erase markers (and small socks that we use for erasers) for the students to choose during math workshop time.
I played the first round with a group, and they enjoyed seeing which ocean creature they would grab next! First, we grabbed a card and identified the animal on it. They are drawings and not real images, but most are easily identifiable, and I could help them if needed.
Then, we looked at how the set of animals was divided to form our addition equation. “1 Octopus plus 6 more equals 7!”
We kept grabbing cards and adding them up until we had completed them all. Then,with a little time left, we erased and played again!
