When we introduce subtraction, I plan on having the minus sign on the back and we will pop the balloons to show how the amount gets smaller! I will post pictures soon!
Please comment on other ways that you introduce addition. Thanks in advance!

Introducing Addition with large T-Shirt and balloons
Today we introduced addition with the PLUS sign (thanks for the suggestion Tracie). We had a great visual using a large T-Shirt with a plus sign. We added 1 balloon at a time to show how "it grows" or "gets larger" when we add.
Once we completed the activity I hung the shirt up so the class will remember what it look like. Tomorrow we will label the shirt with key words such as joining, combining, all together.
