Dog Bone Maths Setup

For this activity you will need:

Paper

Printer

Scissors

Writing tools for the recording sheet

Optional: Laminator

Below are the supplies I use personally at home. After doing so many printable activities, I’ve found that it’s most helpful to always have these basic supplies on hand.

If you don’t have the materials needed, don’t sweat! You can get it delivered to your doorstep really quickly with Amazon Prime. You can get a 30-day free trial here.

Playing This Fun Puppy Numbers Game

Print out the dog and bone game sums and cut them out into individual cards. I would suggest laminating them to make the game reusable.

Print out the recording sheets and prepare some writing tools for the kids to write in their answers. 

Place the sum cards in the middle of a table so each child can pick them up one by one and record their answer.

Alternatively, you can set up this dog bone game like a write the room scoot activity. This will get your students more of that much-needed movement time. Little brains work better when there’s movement involved!
