Take addition skills to new heights with this engaging, transportation-themed math centre! The set includes 30 activity cards designed in three progressive levels to build students' addition abilities. The first level provides completed equations with visual cues. As students progress, they tackle problems with missing answers while still having visual support, and then advance to unguided independent problem-solving. Using 50 plastic airplanes and 40 number tiles, students complete the activity cards, gaining confidence and mastery in addition as they move through each level. Cards measure 21 x 27 cm, and the set includes a guide for teachers to facilitate the activities. Educational Benefits: Helps students develop and reinforce addition skills through hands-on, interactive activities. Three levels of difficulty cater to different student needs, supporting differentiation in the classroom. Builds confidence as students progress from supported to independent problem-solving. Supports fine motor development through the use of tangible objects like airplanes and number tiles. Enhances number fluency, attention, and problem-solving abilities in a fun, motivating way. Classroom Ideas: Rotation Stations: Set up the activity centre in rotation so small groups of students can work through the levels independently, at their own pace. Peer Collaboration: Pair students together to work as a team, allowing for peer support and discussions about solving addition problems. Timed Challenges: Add excitement by setting a timer for each card. Students can race to complete the problems correctly in the shortest time. Independent Learning: As students master the first two levels, encourage independent work on unguided problems to further their learning. Use with Manipulatives: Combine the airplanes and number tiles with other classroom manipulatives for additional hands-on addition practice. Information: Ages: 3 - 6 years Contents: 30 activity cards, 50 plastic airplanes, 40 number tiles, teacher guide Card size: 21 x 27 cm
