Ice Cream Number Bonds - this is such a fun, clever, hands on math activity to help preschool, prek, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade kids start to grasp number bonds (addition, subtraction). Fun for summer learning, math centers, and homeschooling.

Ice Cream Number Bonds

What you need:

  • Felt(I used light brown, dark brown, pink, white and green)
  • Pompoms
  • Blank stickers
  • Tweezers

How to set it up:

Cut ice cream cones from the light brown felt. Then cut the ice cream scoops using the rest of your felt. We had vanilla (white), strawberry (pink), mint (green) and chocolate (brown).

Use your stickers to write the numbers you are working in. If you are working on bonds for 5 or 10 like we did here, you need the numbers 1 to 10 and then another 5 and 10. Stick these numbered stickers to the scoops. I added stickers to both sides of the scoops. The number 5 and 10 went on the cones.

How to play:

Choose a cone (with a number) and add the scoops(numbers you need to make up the bond) and add it to the cone. See how many ways there is to build a specific number ice cream. Lastly, use the tweezers to add a “cherry”(pompom) or two!
