Make Your Own Dominoes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed with a blank domino addition theme. It presents pairs of blank domino tiles with addition signs between them and equal signs leading to blank squares for the answers. Students are instructed to imagine or draw dots on the dominoes to create numbers, then write these numbers in the squares and add them to find the sum, which they will write in the final square. The worksheet provides a template for practicing addition but requires students to visualize or create the numbers themselves.

The worksheet is trying to teach students the concept of addition through visualization and creativity. It encourages them to practice mental math by visualizing dot patterns that represent numbers on dominoes. This not only helps with arithmetic skills but also fosters imaginative thinking and number representation. By leaving the dominoes blank, it challenges students to understand that numbers can be constructed in different ways and can reinforce the concept that various combinations can result in the same sum.
