This activity goes well with these resources:

One of my favorite things about this hands-on math activity is that it’s easy and inexpensive to create. You can usually find all of the supplies that you need at your local dollar store.

To prepare this activity, paint the paper plates with yellow paint and let them dry. To save time, you can also buy yellow paper plates at a dollar store or party store. Next, paint the clothespins with yellow paint and let them dry. You may need to use more than one coat of paint to completely cover the clothespins. After the paint dries, write an addition problem on the center paper plate of each plate.

How To Play:

To begin playing the Sunny Day Addition Game, one of your students will select a paper plate and read the addition problem. Next, he or she will count the number of clothespins for the first number in the problem and clip them onto the paper plate. Your student will then count the number of clothespins for the second number in the problem and clip them onto the paper plate. Finally, he or she will add the number of clothespins to find the answer to the problem.
