Easy reusable addition centers


In my math centers I used a template from Kim Suttons book "Dynamic Dice" and placed the workpage into a sheet protector.  Students use foam dice to roll numbers, then record the numbers using a dry erase marker.  The nice thing about using the dry erase format is that it requires less teacher prep for the center.

tip: I prefer to use foam dice... as they bounce less on surfaces and are much quieter than normal dice.  I also prefer to have this center on the floor... it decreases the amount of time students spend chasing falling dice vs actually solving math problems.

tip:  No dice?  Try substituting dominoes instead.
