<\/div>\nThe Cycling Addition Puzzle Printable is a great addition to the summer sports<\/a> and addition printables<\/a> on the site.<\/p>\n Addition is defined as adding something to something else. So that is adding different things together.<\/p>\n This is where kids learn one plus one equals 2 or 1 + 1 = 2. You start on simple and work up to more complex math.<\/p>\n The Cycling Addition Puzzle Printable has simple addition from 1 to 12. It is a fun way to review or learn addition. The puzzle has fundamental addition problems for kids.<\/p>\n The Cycling Addition Puzzles is great for those in late kindergarten (ages 5 to 6) or early first grade (ages 6 to 7).<\/p>\n You have a picture with 12 squares and with numbers 1 to 12 on the squares. You have a picture of the three kids cycling on a road.<\/p>\n You have an addition puzzle mat. You have 12 equations on the mat and each one adds up to a different number.<\/p>\n We have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n You will see how we prepare to use the cycling addition puzzle.<\/p>\n Something you can do before laminating the puzzle pieces is to write the answers on the back of the pieces. This is great for self checking.<\/p>\n You can start off by laminating<\/a> both the puzzle and the mat. You can cut the puzzle first and the laminate the puzzle. But we have found laminating and then cutting to work best for the puzzles.<\/p>\n You can see below we have cut out the puzzles pieces below. You can store the puzzle pieces in an envelope and attach the envelope to the back of the puzzle for storing the puzzle pieces and mat together.<\/p>\n Another thing we do when preparing the puzzle is to put putty on the puzzle mat. This helps the puzzle stay in place and is easy to reuse.<\/p>\n You can see how I have the puzzle held up and the piece on the puzzle is staying in place.<\/p>\n You can also take the puzzle off after you do the puzzle to use another time.<\/p>\n You will see below how we used the cycling addition puzzle.<\/p>\n You can see below a simple addition puzzle center. You have the pieces of the puzzle on the right and the mat with the putty on it.<\/p>\n You can add the Addition Bookmarks<\/a> for kids who might need help with the answers to the equations. Just give them 1 to 12 for the bookmarks.<\/p>\n They are going to start off with matching the puzzle answers to the addition equations. You can have them say the addition sentence like four plus six equations ten. It gives them a verbal way to work on addition as well as matching the answer and to the addition equation on the mat.<\/p>\n You can see a finished addition puzzle below. It is a great way to work addition and it makes a fun summer puzzle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Soccer Addition Clip Card Printables<\/a> has addition 1 to 10 on the cards.
