An answer key is provided on the bottom two pages of the recording sheet PDF file. Instructions are also included on first pages of each PDF document.

Some example are: ♦ Around the classroom ♦ Outdoor play area ♦ In a tough tray ♦ In a sensory tub etc. This is a great way to keep students motivated and engaged while working on their addition to 10 and addition to 20 skills.
