Pot of Gold Addition Mats

Even though St. Patrick’s Day isn’t one of the big holidays that we celebrate in our classroom, I always like to add a few fun, themed activities to our centers. For one of our math activities this year, we created these Pot of Gold Addition Mats. They are a great way for children to practice identifying the missing addend and add to ten.

After filling the pot with gold, your students will count the number of gold pieces that they added. They will then use a dry erase marker and write the number on the blank.

These Pot of Gold Addition Mats are perfect of Kindergarteners but can also be used as an intervention tool for older students. This math activity is great to use for math centers, small group instruction, or as an enrichment activity for early finishers. Your students can work together with a partner or by themselves to solve each addition problem.
