Addition

Number of activities: 6 adapted activities, with visual problem situations, color-coded multiple choice, object counting, coloring according to the result, numerical writing, and interpretation of everyday scenes.

Target audience:
Students with difficulties in reading, interpretation, and consolidation of basic mathematical operations.
Suitable for Elementary School I and II, High School, Special Education Support (AEE), Youth and Adult Education (EJA), and remedial classes.
Also recommended for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Down syndrome, and students in the process of mathematical literacy, regardless of grade level.

Format:
Color printable PDF, with strong visual support (stickers, markers, school van, colored squares), color-coded answer choices, short instructions, accessible language, and a complete answer key.

Objective

To help students understand the concept of addition as “combining quantities” using concrete situations and everyday images.
The material is designed for students who still cannot perform simple additions independently, even in higher grade levels, promoting functional mathematical autonomy for daily life.

Content

• Problem situations with stickers, exploring the idea of initial quantity + added quantity.

• Counting everyday objects (markers on a desk).

• Color-by-result activity, associating each sum with a specific color.

• Contextualized situation with a school van, involving the progressive entry of students and step-by-step addition.

• Exercise counting painted and unpainted squares, reinforcing the notion of total.

• Writing the final addition result with visual support.

Highlights

✅ Strong visual support, allowing understanding even with partial or no reading.
✅ Simple language, short sentences, and small numbers.
✅ Color-coded answer options that support decision-making without relying solely on symbolic calculation.
✅ Integrates motor tasks (coloring, marking, writing) and cognitive tasks (counting, comparing, adding).
✅ Ideal for students with significant math gaps, including those in High School.
✅ Ready to use in regular classrooms or Special Education Support (AEE).
✅ Saves 5 hours and 35 minutes of teacher preparation time.
