About this resource
Description
This ice cream addition sums of 5-10 activity turns addition facts into a sweet stacking game. Children add two numbers on each scoop and stack it on the cone that shows the sum. Knowing the ways to make 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 builds number sense and gets young learners ready for fast, confident addition.
How to Use This Activity
Lay out the six Cone Cards, one for each sum from 5 to 10. Children pick a Scoop Card, add the two numbers, and put the scoop on top of the matching cone. Every cone gets a stack of three different scoops, such as 1 + 4, 3 + 2 and 0 + 5 on the cone for 5. As they build, children write each number sentence on the Scoop Stack recording sheet. The kindergarten addition activity works well in a math center, with a partner, or in a small group.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with game steps, prep tips and an extension idea
- 6 Cone Cards with the sums 5 to 10
- 18 Scoop Cards with addition problems, three for every sum
- A Scoop Stack recording sheet
- A kindergarten practice worksheet with eight addition problems
- An answer key for the cards and the practice worksheet
Why This Activity Helps Kids Learn
First, seeing three different facts stacked on one cone shows children that many pairs of numbers make the same sum. Second, the game gives children lots of practice adding within 10 while they play. Third, the recording sheet and practice page let you check each child’s addition at a glance.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Count real objects or fingers with children who need support, then move to mental math. Challenge early finishers to name a fourth scoop for each cone. Use the cards again for a quick warm-up at the start of math time. This ice cream addition sums of 5-10 activity fits kindergarten and 1st grade and pairs well with the resources below.
