Remember the "Adding Fun" post from a couple years ago? Well, it was by far my most popular post ever with almost 60,000 view and over 189,000 pins on Pinterest! Isn't that just crazy?!?!
Well, I still love the activity idea! It's such a great, fun, visual way to teach addition. I recently made a file folder version of the adding fun activity so that it could easily be put away in my file folder box. and brought out whenever I need it.
Since it needed to fold flat, I used construction paper to form the tubes and the "catch" at the bottom. This made it so it could easily flatten up and be stored.
At the bottom, I added a laminated "___+___=___" card strip. When a child uses the folder, she can also use an Expo marker to write her addition problem down on the bottom.
Adding Fun in a to-go form? Perfect!
