This FREE no prep sample worksheet activity introduces students to basic addition by composing & decomposing the number 10. Practice counting, 1:1 correspondence, build number sense skills, and grow confidence (from the complete SHAKE & SPILL 3-20 resource).
Shake and Spill activities are a great way to introduce the basics of addition.
For this activity you need two sided counters (I use the circle counters with red on one side and yellow on the other) and a cup. The kids place 10 counters in their cup, shake it up, and spill it on a flat surface. They then record how many counters are red and how many are yellow, making sure to group the colours together (i.e. all the red are together, and all the yellow are together).
