Addition Bears Task Cards (Practice adding up to 10)
This product supports scholars in simple addition up to 10. This is great to use with bear manipulatives to make learning fun and engaging. How to use Addition Bears: I recommend printing the task cards on white card stock (or regular white paper), then laminate cards. Have scholars use a whiteboard marker to practice writing their number sentences after sorting the bears on the cards.
