    Ep 37: Print-and-Play Addition Games for Numbers to 12

    I love a good game to have kids learning and practicing math! The applause my students give when in math center time is music to my ears! These addition games are pretty simple and don't include a lot of varied directions, perfect to free you up to circulate the room if you need to or pull students one one-on-one or in a small group because they're engaged in these fast-paced games that are accessible to them and easy to differentiate.
