Missing Addend Word Problem | Task Cards

Introducing the Missing Addend Word Problem Task Cards - a versatile and engaging resource for helping students practice solving missing addend word problems! This set includes 24 task cards with word problems involving numbers up to and slightly above 20. There are two sets to choose from - one with pictures and the other with just words - allowing you to customize the activity to your preference. Each set also comes with a cover page for easy card identification.

These task cards provide a great way for students to revise and practice solving missing addend word problems in a fun and engaging way. This activity can be done as a whole class or in small groups, allowing for differentiated instruction. Simply print the task cards to fit the page, cut along the guidelines, and laminate for durability. Each student will need a recording sheet to record their answers, which correspond with the task card numbers. Use the answer key to review answers as a whole class or small group.

You have the flexibility to choose the wording you use with your class, such as missing numbers, missing addends, part-part whole, or unknown addends, making it easy to align with your curriculum or teaching style. The answer sheet includes the complete number sentence with the missing addend highlighted for your convenience, but you can also choose to have students write the full number sentence or just identify the missing addend, allowing for further customization.

To make this activity even more interactive, you can place the task cards around your classroom and have students walk around with their recording sheets and clipboards, creating a scavenger hunt-like experience. This activity can also be modified to suit your needs, providing endless possibilities for incorporating it into your math lessons
