children to put themselves in the proper order to create the number sentence.
Another way to practice "movement math" is to have the students chant, clap,

Art Activities
Take advantage of your young students' imaginations by using activities to
introduce and reinforce the concept of number sentences. Read them the story of
the "Three Little Pigs." Ask them to draw a picture based on what you read.
Remind them that when the wolf blew down the house of straw, the pig ran to
join his friend in the house of sticks. Give the students some twigs to paste onto a
piece of paper, and then encourage them to draw two pigs inside the house.
Advanced students might write "1+1=2" underneath the picture. Or create
number sentence collages out of paper shapes or stickers such as hearts and stars.
Then ask students towrite number sentences based on what they created.
