Grab & Pack Addition is a fun game to use when practising the skill of counting and adding together small collections.

To use, students grab a handful of items (such as teddy bear counters, cubes etc.) and place them on the first suitcase, repeat and place the next handful of counters on the second suitcase. Students then count the number of counters in each case, and add them together. You may also like to have your students record the number sentence in the space below.

The use of concrete objects to count and add gives students opportunities to practise the steps of counting, adding and finding the total.
