Designed to meet the conceptual demands of the new Common Core Standards, this preview contains one sample of the 60+ engaging games and activities that will focus students on translating between the following representations of the adding numbers within 20: 1. Standard numeral representation 2. Ten frame representation 3. The Sum 4. Related Fact Family: the commutative property 5. Number sentence The packet consists of 10 different number boards (see sample picture below), 10 matching board

The set includes four different game boards, each board at a different level of di
