MATHEMATIC Write and Wipe Counting Cards
Nothing says summer fun quite like ice cream! These playful write and wipe
counting cards are a motivating way to practice counting on from a given
number and beginning addition.
Getting Ready
To prep, I printed the write and wipe cards (below) on cardstock to give them
extra durability. I cut along the lines to separate them and then laminated the
cards to make them reusable.
I grabbed a couple dry erase markers and invited Middle Brother (age 4.5) to
join me. Easy peasy!
“Six” he read from the bottom of the ice cream cup. “But there are only three
candies,” he said with confusion.
I explained that he was going to practice adding on. Since he already had
three candies, he could put that number in his head and count on.
“Four… five… six” he counted out loud as he drew the extra candies he
needed to make the number match.
When he completed the entire stack of cards, we grabbed a baby wipe and
cleaned them off so that Big Brother (age 6.5) could solve them later
