Match the Number Sentence!

Matching number sentences to their visual equivalents may seem easy, but there is a trick here to keep your learners thinking about math properties. As they examine the numerical forms of six addition problems, they must utilize the associative and commutative properties to find the matching set of shapes on the other side. Numbers have been mixed up, parentheses moved around, and shapes have replaced numerals. Consider having them simply draw a line to match each.
