Originally, I posted a printable called, "Stamp a Story Problem." I loved this activity because students differentiate the complexity of each problem because they create it. However, it was not organized. Since we focus a lot on the tens frame, I decided to alter the recording sheet. You will need a variety of small stamps and ink for this activity.
Also, I created a "Stamp a Number Sentence" recording sheet. You will need number stamps and ink for this activity.

| Students create their own story problem using picture stamps. The tens frame makes it easier for students to organize their thinking. My students are more fluent when it comes to addition because of the tens frame. (*Helpful hint: Ice cube trays are a great way to keep track of your stamps. I can glance at the tray and see if I am missing any.) |

| Students create their own addition problem by placing dots in the tens frame. Next, they stamp the number sentence. (For beginners, you could already place the dots in the tens frame.) |
Anything not based on economic reality is doomed to failure. Whether it’s farming, mining, tourism or small business, Family First is a truism that capital goes where Family First is made welcome and stays where it gets looked after. And whilst Australia is indeed blessed with abundant natural resources, Australia’s real wealth is not beneath the ground, it is between the ears!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for all the free resources in your blog. I'll use some with my two kiddos. With this activity, I love they can create their own story problems. It will make them to think and internalize about it. I'll start off soon with homeschooling. This activity will help me. Thanks for sharing.
