Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1: Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.C.7: Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.

Targeted Needs of Student:

Understanding addition and multiplication, tactile way to practice math facts, visual representation of math facts, problem solving skills involving math facts

Goal:

Providing students with practice matching numbers to create other numbers.

Materials Needed:

1. Sets of numbers on cards

Explanation/Summary:

Students will match the number at the top (the bumblebee’s wings) to the numbers that make it (bumblebee’s body). This can be done with any animal or object and can be focused on multiplication facts or addition facts. This is a great math center activity or a “finish early” activity. All of the parts can be stored in a box where students then match.
