BOOM Cards | Add and Subtract within 5 | Valentine's Day

What a fun way to practice adding and subtracting within 5! Students will both show their work by dragging hearts to represent the addition or subtraction equations, as well as tap the love bug that shows the correct answer.

Included in this BOOM Card deck are 42 cards for the students to work on, plus 2 practice cards at the beginning to help them understand how to complete the tasks.

This deck is set to randomize each card, as well as show 15 cards per play so students can play multiple times while receiving different cards in a different order each time!

This BOOM Card deck was made with Kindergarten students in mind and directly addresses the important Kindergarten math standard of fluently adding and subtracting within 5.  

This is a perfect stepping stone towards mastering this standard as it shows ALL of the combinations within 5, including 0, for both addition and subtraction. Students gain extra practice and support by using objects to represent the problems.
