Three Elementary Math Activities
Elementary math activities are fundamental to any elementary classroom. These three elementary math activities are super easy to set up and the kids love them! I use these activities during the month of May when the kids are wanting to be on summer break or on a dreary day to liven up the classroom a little. These elementary math activities are great for reinforcing basic addition, subtraction, and counting skills. If you are interested in these elementary math activities you can find out more here.

Addition/ Subtraction Math Sort
First things first, the addition and subtraction math sort. I like to use this as a great "no paper" center. My kinders really enjoy centers where the only work they have to do is to move objects around with their hands. Included in this resource are unicorns with the numbers 1-20 and numerous addition and subtraction task cards for them to sort. You also have the added option of having the students write the answer on the line with a dry erase marker.
Number Counting
This resource also comes with a counting mat. If I am just planning to use the numbers 1-10, I like to cut the mats in half. However, if I am working with the numbers 11-20, I leave the whole page together. You can use any type of counters you wish, but my kids LOVE the mini erasers.
Addition/Subtraction Worksheet
The last elementary math activity in this unicorn edition is an addition/subtraction worksheet. For this activity, I like to either focus on 1-10 or 11-20. The kids then have to first sort the addition or subtraction task cards and then write the facts underneath the correct unicorn. If you teach the older kiddos, this could also be used without the task cards to see if your students could come up with the math facts on their own.
