Cut and paste addition activities are a favorite in kindergarten because they turn a standard math lesson into a hands-on craft project. This printable focuses on active learning.

How This Activity Works Instead of just writing answers with a pencil, students build the equations themselves.

  1. Solve: Look at the simple addition problem (e.g., 2 + 3).
  2. Select: Find the correct number in the “Number Bank” at the bottom of the page.
  3. Construct: Cut out the square and paste it into the empty box to complete the equation.

This method helps active children stay focused and reinforces the connection between the math problem and its solution through physical movement.
