Witch’s Brew - Addition Activity
In this great addition activity, students will explore different combinations of numbers that can added to make a given total. Students must add the perfect “ingredients” (cards with numbers) to make their “mixture” (the total number) of witch’s brew. Numbers range from tens to thousands and a blank card has been included to write your own numbers.
Rotational and small group activities.
