ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION PRACTICE C AN BE FUN!
40 Cross-Number Puzzles: Addition & Subtraction Bob Olenych, Scholastic Teaching Resources
If fluency and accuracy are the goals you have established for your students learning
addition and subtraction, then they should partake in regular review and practice with these
skills. The key to motivating students is to provide them with a variety of activities that are
interesting and stimulating. To support my students as they gain fluency and accuracy, I have
created skill-building practice puzzles that they really enjoy.
