This fun learning center game is meant to be played individually, with all the materials you need to set up the center. It supports fact family knowledge up to 20, encouraging students to add and subtract using mental math skills.

Students pick two gingerbread cards from the stack and place them on the mat. Then, they write the answer with a dry-erase marker. You can also include an accountability worksheet that has students write down all the math problems they build using the gingerbread cards.

This learning center allows you to adjust the difficulty level by removing some of the gingerbread cards. This enables you to use the same center for longer by differentiating instruction according to what you're working on in class or for individual students.
