The link to the digital puzzle is on a clickable PDF that you would download once purchased. Students will put the answers in the answer box. This activity is no prep and is self checking. If the student puts the correct answer in, the answer box will turn green and a piece of the digital puzzle will appear in the green box to the right. In addition to this, an emoji pops up next to the correct answer. If the student puts in the wrong answer, the answer box will turn red and no puzzle piece will appear.

Do you have an Abacus sitting in your classroom somewhere? The abacus is a wonderful manipulative that can grow with your students. Abacus builds strong number sense and subitizing.

CRA Approach for learning math.

Concrete. The “doing” stage uses concrete objects to model problems. In the concrete stage, the abacus can introduce mathematical concepts, like counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Representational. The “seeing” stage uses representations of the objects to model problems. In this stage, my worksheets involve drawing pictures while relating to the abacus.

Abstract. The “symbolic” stage uses abstract symbols such as numbers and operation symbols (+, × ,÷, –) to indicate addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Follow me for more abacus worksheets, so you can incorporate abacus with learning math.
