November Math Word Problems | 64 Addition and Subtraction Stories Within 10
Give kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade learners short November stories to read, act out, and solve. Children move illustrated counters on a mat, draw what happened, and write an equation and answer.
This 28-page US Letter PDF includes four themed sets: passengers on a ship, turkey feathers, pies on a cooling rack, and dinner rolls. Each set includes a model mat, ten cut-apart counters, sixteen numbered problem cards, and two recording pages. Across each set, students solve joining and separating problems with either the result or the change missing. The two teacher key pages show all 64 equations and answers.
Print the mats, counters, and cards at actual size. Cut around the counters and cards. Read one story aloud, show the starting amount, and let children add or remove pieces as they listen. Choose a few numbered cards at a time for a math center, small group, or partner activity.
