Pbs Kids Afterschool Adventure!: Operation: Adding Up, Taking Away Activity Plan

Curated by ACT

In this week's Afterschool Adventure, children will practice and explore strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems, such as using counters and rulers, performing mental math, and drawing pictures. As children encounter different outlandish scenarios with their PBS Kids friends, they will explore, reinforce, and advance their addition and subtraction skills- for example, adding to ten, adding three or more numbers, or changing an addition problem into a subtraction problem. Each section of this week-long adventure is introduced by a video clip or online game that encourages children to explore math concepts and skills related to addition and subtraction.
