Activity for ages 4 to 8.
My oldest LOVES math fact challenges so I was excited to put together a set of fun popsicle stick math fact dominoes he could use to practice +2s. Working on subtraction, multiplication or division instead? No problem! Just swap out the math facts and answers. So easy!
Getting Ready
I grabbed our jumbo sized popsicle sticks, a pack of colorful dot stickers and a black Sharpie. I wrote +2 addition facts on yellow dots and the answers on pink dots. {You could really practice anything – doubles facts, minus 4, times 8…. anything!}
Then I stuck one yellow math fact on the left side of each popsicle stick and attached a pink sum to the right side of a different popsicle stick.
Mixing up the problems and solutions is what makes the domino game work so be sure to put them on different sticks.
Playing Math Fact Dominoes
My son randomly picked one of the dominoes from the pile and read the yellow dot. “1+2,” he said. “That equals 3!” He searched through the pile of sticks until he found the pink 3. Then he slid it next to the math fact.
Stick by stick, he solved each math fact and moved the matching answer in place.
