This resource is designed to help you incorporate concrete and representational experiences into your math class in order to boost your students' understanding of addition. Reinforce mental math addition strategies as your students work with four different sets of addition math mats: left-to-right addition with no regrouping, left-to-right addition with regrouping, make a ten, and near doubles.

We know how important it is for students to SEE the math they are working with. Regardless of which grade you teach, this is an essential part of true understanding. 

*Paper-Saving Tip* The pages can easily be put inside plastic sheet protectors and used with a dry erase marker at a math workstation.
