PERFECT FOR VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!

Just added: 10 more pages of warm-up addition/subtraction math scenarios to act out!

This is a terrific way to help young students understand the concepts of addition and subtraction by acting out "scenarios", which are actually addition and subtraction word problems.

The whole class can participate.

Each student makes their own mailbox (explicit instructions with photos included) and they address their own pieces of "personal mail". (templates/examples for correctly addressing envelopes are included) The addressed envelopes are collected by the teacher who will fill each envelope with a little treat (sticker, eraser, little pad, valentine card, whatever...) . The teacher will distribute the envelopes to their proper addressees once the "drama" is over.

*** Also, everyone makes a piece of bulk mail (junk mail, ads).

Those are all of the props needed to act out each scenario (word problem). There are "delivery job tickets" in this package that should be printed out. These tell the acting " postal worker" what to deliver and who to deliver it to. The mail recipients get involved "in the act" also. As they empty their mailboxes, they reveal the answers to the word problems (scenarios) .This hands on activity will really hold the students' attention! There are 6 different scenarios with blanks for numbers of pieces of mail and the names of addressees. Teachers can fill in the blanks with varied information creating lots of different "delivery jobs" so that everyone can participate!
