Oakland Terrace Math: Kindergarten Student Work

Ten dominoes of different colors, some oriented horizontally and some vertically.

In this Kidspiration activity, students match dominoes with addition sentences. The dominoes are oriented both horizontally and vertically.

The number sentences are also oriented horizontally and vertically.

4 addition number sentences, oriented both vertically and horizontally, with missing sums.

Dominoes matched with the number sentences they represent.

Students match the domino with its number sentence, and then find the sum.

It is important for students to see that number sentences can be both horizontal and vertical. It is important to emphasize that the two sides of the domino represent the addends. And the total number of dots represent the sum.
