Let's Make Addition and Subtraction Sums

Turn addition and subtraction into a fun hands-on activity with this resource.
There are 10 cards:
• 5 Addition Cards (within 12) and 5 Subtraction Cards (within 10).
• A Blank Template for children or teachers to create custom sums.
Children write a list of sums they find on each sheet, solve them, and ensure they correctly distinguish between the addition and subtraction symbols.
Example links include addition sums like 6 + 2, and subtraction sums like 4 - 3, with at least 6 possible sums per card.
Children could also colour in pairs of linked numbers that create sums.
Interactive Ideas:
• Work in pairs or groups to solve sums collaboratively.
• Laminate the cards for reuse and encourage friendly competitions!
This resource combines problem-solving and teamwork, making maths fun and engaging.
