💡 ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
Laminate cards for durability and repeated use. Children use clothespins or cute paper clips to mark their answer choice, combining math practice with fine motor development. The train graphics serve as visual counters, allowing children to count objects to solve addition problems before selecting the correct sum. Perfect for math centers where students can work independently. Can also be used with physical counters placed on each train graphic for hands-on counting practice, building one-to-one correspondence and concrete math understanding before moving to abstract computation. The self-checking design builds confidence and autonomous learning habits.
