A few years ago I was bored to tears trying to find engaging ways to practice addition in my classroom, particularly when needing to add up to four 2-digit numbers. I decided to bring a little real-world math into the classroom and let my students go shopping. Today I want to let your students go shopping with this little addition practice with 4 addends freebie:

Are you ready to build a snowman this winter without leaving the classroom or freezing your hands? This snowman supplies pack is a great way to practice addition with up to four 2-digit numbers. It can be used during math rotations, as a center activity, or with a small group.

ADDITION PRACTICE WITH 4 ADDENDS

Just like the other stores in my shopping pack, Snowman Supplies has a colorful poster, two recording sheet options, and 8 task cards where students must find the sum of four items. Each of the winter-themed items has a 2-digit number.

Do your students need more practice with addition with 4 addends? Try this Snowman Supplies freebie!

After reading the task card, students must use the store poster to record prices on the chosen recording sheet. Then students will find the sum of the four items and record the answer in dollars and cents notation.
