Learning Station - Hero Adding Books - Preschoolers

The kiddos picked two numbers they would like to add together, we wrote them, then they figured out the sum.  We wrote that, then they put that many superhero stickers on.

I used lunch sacks, cut the bottoms off, folded, stapled.  Then cut cardstock squares to fit inside.  I saw this idea at:  this source.

A kiddo adding.  Her first two numbers she chose added up to 14:
"That's a lot!  Next I'm gonna do 1 + 1.  That's only 2!"

"1 + 2 is 3!"

"Yeah, but 8 is bigger than 3." 

"Yep."
