Addition and Subtraction Flip Books
I am always looking for activities to add
to my math tubs/centers and I find flip books work really well. I have created
nine flip books: 4 addition flip books, 4 subtraction flip books and 1
addition/subtraction flip book. I have
created books with both words and symbols. The following describes each book:
Flip
Books
Two-sided Counters Addition – Give the students 10 two-sided counters
in a cup. Have the students first
predict how many yellow and how many red will appear once they spill the
counters. The kids always need to
predict first. Then have them shake the
cup and spill the counters. They colour
in their results and write the addition sentence.
Unifix Cubes Addition – Give the students 2 towers of six
unifix cubes and one die. Have the
students roll the die once and colour that many unifix in the flip book (they
can show on one of their towers too).
Then have them roll a second time and colour in that many unifix in the
flip book (they can show that roll on the other tower). This book as two pictures of unifix towers
with six unifix in each. Then have the
students write the addition sentence.
Dice Addition Book #1 – This is a simple one where the student
gets 1 die and rolls it twice. For each
roll they record what they rolled on the blank die in the flip book. Then they write their addition sentence.
Dice Addition Book #2 – Give students a pair of dice and some
crayons. Ask them to roll the dice, find
the total and colour in that total. The
object is to colour in the whole card.
First student to fill the card wins.
Ten Apples in a Tree Subtraction – This flip book has a picture of a tree
with ten apples. On each page apples
start to fall off the tree and the student has to write the subtraction
sentence that matches the picture. There
is a space for students to create their own apple subtraction story.
Frogs on a Log Subtraction – This flip book starts with 10 frogs on
a log and on each page frogs start to jump off the log because the log is
shrinking. The student has to write the
subtraction sentence. There is a page
for students to create their own frog subtraction story.
Bottle Bowling Subtraction – Have the students set up 10 bottles
arranged just like the picture in the flip book (I have also provided a slide
with a larger picture of the bottle set up).
Give them a small ball (you could use a foam ball) and have them
bowl. They are to cross out the number
of bottles they knocked down in their flip book and write the subtraction
sentence. They set the bottles up again
and see if they can knock a different number of bottles down.
Five Little Monkeys – You can read the story to the students
first and then show them the flip book.
On each page monkeys jump off the bed and the students have to write the
subtraction sentence. There is a page
for students to create their own Little Monkeys subtraction story.
Ten Frame Addition and Subtraction – Have students look at the ten frame and
give two addition sentences and two subtraction sentences.
This
product is aligned with the following Atlantic Canadian Mathematics Curriculum:
Grade Primary
B1
count the results when small groups are combined
B2
count the results when small groups are separated
Grade One
B1
recognize that addition is used to represent the joining of two groups
B2
recognize that subtraction is used to represent separating situations
B3
recognize the relationship between addition and subtraction
Here are a few pictures of some of the slides from the flip books:
