It is a great way to refresh students on addition and subtraction or introduce students to addition and subtraction for the first time. It will also help them identify key phrases that indicate whether to add or subtract.
Images on the addition and subtraction column allow students to visualize subtraction and addition, and the numerical problems allow them to practice their math skills.
Conclusion
Conclusion:
Math can be less intimidating when students associate addition and subtraction with items they know and can visually see the result. Once they get their basic addition and subtraction down, numerical problems on the column will help them hone their math skills.
