This Fun Math Addition Mat not only makes math fun, but also provides an opportunity for your students to grasp the understanding of addition as they manipulate concrete objects on top of this mat.

Place each mat into a plastic sheet protector and allow students to manipulate objects on top of the mat. Ask students to place a certain number of objects in each of the addend places. Have students record the addends on the lines provided at the bottom of the mat (using a dry erase marker), then have students move all of the objects into the final box to determine and record the sum.

This activity is a great way to check for understanding as you introduce addition.
