Level up the challenge with sums to 10.
Once students have mastered the basics, it is time to move to larger numbers. This cut and paste finger addition worksheet focuses on sums between 6 and 10, requiring students to count fingers across multiple hands before finding the matching cutout.
Why This “Hands-On” Approach Beats Standard Drills:
- Active Engagement: Kids get bored just writing numbers. Using scissors and glue breaks the monotony and re-engages their brain.
- Self-Correction: If a student cuts out a “7” but calculates an answer of “8”, they realize they have a piece left over or missing. This encourages double-checking their work.
- Motor Skills: Cutting along the dotted lines improves the dexterity needed for handwriting.
Teacher Tip: Use this as a “Friday Fun” math center activity!
