Sorting Problems On Safari- Addition and Subtraction
This versatile activity can be used as a simple sorting activity, or for the beginning of a class display or art activity.
Students are required to identify key language that helps them decide whether the problem is asking them to add or subtract. They can then either stick the problems on the T-chart template or use one of the problems from the worksheet to create a visual display. The choice is yours.
